Safety laws are written in blood. Because it's unprofitable to prevent disasters before they happen...
But look at them over regulate and red-tape anything that could possibly maybe harm their profits by actually innovating and improving quality... Working in biotech and knowing we could fix a lot of the issues with world hunger and vaccines by using tech we already know is safe but is barred from use because established companies would not profit as much is infuriating...
The "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality.
Even if it’s broke, wait until it’s financially untenable to ignore it.
