Less government regulation in action

Oderint dum metuant

A document released by a state agency says all the rides at a Kansas City, Kansas, water park passed private inspections in June, including the waterslide on which a 10-year-old boy died.


The Kansas Department of Labor provided a copy of an insurance company inspector's June 7 letter saying inspections had been completed at Schlitterbahn Waterpark. The letter said all rides met guidelines for being insured with "no disqualifying conditions noted."


Deputy Secretary and Chief Attorney Brad Burke said the department obtained the letter following Sunday's death of Caleb Schwab on the "Verruckt" waterslide.


Kansas law requires permanent rides to be inspected annually by their parks, and the state randomly audits the records. The last records audit for Schlitterbahn was in June 2012.

This is the USA the Right envision for every one of us.
 
We've regulated our economy into one of the worst economic recoveries we've had. The Paul Krugman answer??? More regulation!
 
Money is more important to them than lives.

The invisible hand of the free market is their deity, and it demands human sacrifices of America's children.
 
This is the insight I've been missing? This is awesome. In this circle I guess the FDA keeping life altering/saving drugs from patients in the name of regulation are "ok" deaths because regulation is the highest God right?

In recent decades the FDA has de-regulated and shortened drug trials to get new drugs on the market faster.
A cottage industry has opened up as a result among lawyers suing drug companies who made billions before their wonder drug was shown to cause more harm than good and sometimes death as they used the general public as their guinea pigs.
To do away with regulation is to do away with prudence, human morality and common sense.
You are a savage.

Zero regulation of Big Pharma is clearly preferable!

Your straw man Cwackjob. All I did was shoot it down.
No one here has ever said that liberals can't be racists. That is your pure invention.
You are a liar as well as a money worshiping savage.
 
Capitalist tool Cawacko is trying to divert attention from the disastrous consequences of laissez-faire regulation, Comrade Cat!

Let us resist his trollish attempt to hijack the thread!

Even as amusement rides are getting more terrifying and death-defying by the year, the amusement park industry actively fights attempts at increased regulation. According to the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, surveys reveal that 4 out of 5 of its member organizations say they view “state regulation as the biggest threat to their businesses.”

Regulation of the industry has historically been lax. This changed in 1973, when the newly established Consumer Product Safety Commission assumed authority over the nation’s amusement parks. Amusement park owners chafed against federal oversight. In 1981, Congress passed legislation rescinding the CPSC’s authority over “permanent” rides, only allowing them to monitor temporary rides of the sort featured at pop-up carnivals and fairs.

This is known in the trade as the “roller-coaster loophole.” It leaves the amusement park industry, for the most part, only beholden to a less-than-adequate mishmosh of state laws. According to the New York Daily News, about half the states “require regular inspections from a government agency and allow the state governments to investigate accidents” at amusement parks.

Kansas, it will surprise no one to find out, isn’t exactly tough on theme parks. In an interview with USA Today in 2014, in fact, the Verruckt’s designer specifically cited the state’s lack of regulation regarding the height of rides as one reason the amusement park operator decided to place the world’s tallest water slide there. As for inspections, the state only requires an annual exam, one that is conducted privately and that the park doesn’t need to share with state authorities. There are no surprise spot checks.

This is the system that cruel Cawacko wishes to expand - the safety of America's children means nothing to him!
