This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I guess I get hung up on the whole:

Everyone knows this is true; it's not a secret in any way. But it's a violation of a number of regulations

bit.

So it seems like we could very easily stop these corporations from literally killing people with already existing regulations we are just choosing not to. COOL.

Bold assumption that "we" (meaning the government) includes anyone actually reading this, because as far as I can tell the only "we" the government considers is capital owners. Unless you're proposing some alternate method of behavior alteration.
