How is it legal to sell these things then? Why are they still on shelves? It's dangerous at its intended purpose, making it worse-than-useless.
You can't authoritatively say this until you have done a thorough cost analysis.
Tens or hundreds of millions of people around the world own these sort of brushes and they're very useful and effective for cleaning. I would not be surprised if their utility exceeded the cost of a few GI injuries a year. To be clear, I wouldn't be surprised the other way either.
Plus, I was being contrary to what my parent said about the dangers of cars. Aren't bicycles more dangerous?
I'd love to see high-density, walkable, transitable, low-distance development in more places.
That would mean rebuilding the entire urban landscape, rewrites of layers upon layers of building codes and obligations, a writeoff of a vast amount of equity within the financial system, changing patterns of habits and desires, and more. You're involving every suburban homeowner everywhere, every city, county, state/provincial, and national government. The real estate lobby. Banks. Builders. Building suppliers. Architects.
Good luck with that.
Vs. outlawing a brush.
This is pretty much an exemplar case of the difference between simple and complex problems.
Cars don't exist just to transport our bodies.
