Depends. Like, I could see the argument made that these things get set up less in wealthier, white neighborhoods. Maybe I'm wrong, I'd love to be wrong! I just hate when we make it even more expensive to be poor.

Do you have evidence that they conclusively reduce traffic incidents?

I think the thing I get hung up on is that I don't know if we know they actually work. Intuitively, sure, makes sense, but maybe they are just costing drivers money but not making things safer.

Capitalism gonna make that happen. Have a rare skill? Guess you get paid a ton for it.

I don't understand why this is surprising enough to warrant an NYT article. (Except that the NYT seems to regularly post things that are aimed at disrupting solidarity. Wealthy workers are still workers. We should be looking for ways to get them to have solidarity with us, not villainizing them. )

Random people still would submit things, not fraudulently just poorly. People at large tend to do dumb shit trying to help.

Honestly, we should be at least considering nationalizing Boeing. There's a strategic need for us to build planes, and the corporate leadership continues to show they will not emphasize engineering and safety.

Ok, the article says it costs companies billions. But, maybe that's the right amount? There's no evidence presented that billions is the wrong amount for the cost of mistreating workers.

I'm not saying it definitely is, I just thinks it's shady to frame it as "think of the mega corporations!" Why does the paper assume that it's a negative?
