The US has a serious problem with who is able to sue for what damages when it comes to pollution. Depending on if it’s noise, water, or air, the legal codes are not effective at protecting property or people.
Almost, they’re not effective at protecting the property or people negatively affected by the pollution because they were specifically designed to protect the people doing the polluting and their “property” (read: capital).
It is. And also game companies know that crunching their developers to meet deadlines actually makes things worse, that there have been studies and yet they crunch anyway.
When people have too much power, too often they rule based on vibes rather than on what science and history has shown works.
