What are the externalized costs? We need to fund a committee to research and create a study to get the costs. And these are constantly changing especially with climate change so we'll need to fund it indefinitely to propose new regulations and rules about max car weight, shape, wheel distribution, center of gravity, among other things. Don't worry, this won't be new regulation, just a sweeping ban of certain vehicles based on a number of factors Do you ever think what the externalized costs for having thousands of regulations are to businesses and consumers? Attitudes like yours is the reason I can't buy a kinder egg in US or European eggs have exactly opposite regulatory requirements in US vs Europe. We eschew this kind of complexity in engineering. It's the most obvious thing in the world. Anybody that works on complex systems will tell you the same. But we view regulation and government as immune from these kinds of tradeoffs. We hear things like "this bad thing should be banned" and never stop to think what that means in practice and what fragility and distortions it adds to the system |
