well Reno,
many of us are under the assumption that the 'Hidden hand of the Market' is self correcting, self serving, providing us all with an amicable end result
but i find that concept to be somewhat foolishly predicated on the expected good will and good nature of mankind given a capitalist system that clear does not
here we really only have the stick, but not the carrot , and who really advocates an entity who's all about collusion and collaboration with jackbooted beauracracy other than the obligatory lip service?
the picture gets even more skewed when the onus of compliance is attached to the employer
the best anology there (and one that might be palatable to the cultural gap here) is health care falling on the employer's back
how exactly that happened is a long story (i'll refrain) but the stigmatism after a generation is exactly the same
does your employer pay for your house insurance? car insurance?
etc, ad nasuem....
so in said respect, why is it we are in a trade with hazards that the employer is responsible for educating us to?
perspective please....?
