"every three weeks, workplace conditions lead to a fatality toll greater than 9/11"
I think this is suggestive of how not-dangerous terrorism is, not how dangerous our workplaces are.
It works both ways: it shows that the allocation of resources is not rational.
Please - take it elsewhere.
I think this is the kind of posting that needs to be mercilessly snuffed out before it turns YC.news into another reddit.
By just looking at the title I would agree with you, but did you read it? I think it's substantive enough.
I don't really care whether it's substantive, right, wrong, intelligent or not - it's politics, plain and simple, and whether I agree with it or not doesn't matter, it's just a poisonous topic for this kind of site.
