economically-minded rant

boston.com

A mine supervisor and a coal company put production over safety prior to an underground explosion last year that killed five miners…

Of *course* miners put production ahead of safety. If they didn’t, we would not mine a single pound of coal.

If airlines didn’t put profits ahead of safety, not a single person would every fly.

If baseball managers did not put entertainment ahead of safety, there would never be a single baseball game...
