What is an example of a safety rule who’s conditions no longer exist which would not have the conditions almost immediately return if the rule was removed?
Like every example I can think of is a regulation to stop companies from hurting people which they would simply resume doing given the choice, thus making us still need the rule?
“Safety Law” that is still on the books, but not enforced.
Kentucky has a law that states that all women drivers must be preceded by a flagger on foot, to warn oncoming pedestrians and other traffic. The true irony of this law is that it was passed before Kentucky had paved a single road, and the cars of the time still used wagon style wheels. This meant that those cars were practically “on rails” as they were driving in the ruts that other wagon and car wheels had created in the roads.

My job is populated by dinosaurs that only recently adopted git for version control. They had some rules and procedures that made a kind of sense when deployment meant “I’ll scp the files to the prod server”, but don’t add value anymore.
Some people had a rule where after “deploy” they would SSH into prod and check the md5 hash of the files and compare them to their local copy. You don’t have to do that.
They also wanted to only allow one person to work on a file at the same time because “you can overwrite their changes”. Git handles that fine (unless you really fuck up the merge conflict, admittedly)
tons of things relating to food, like here in sweden you can honestly straight up just eat raw chicken and you’ll probably be fine, in germany raw ground pork is a fairly normal dish, but in other parts of the world and in the past this would have fucking horrified people.
I don’t want to “probably” be fine. I don’t want to roll a D20 when I eat chicken and I get salmonella if I roll a 1. And why is your chicken so clean anyway that you can get to “probably”? Because of a ton of laws and regulations mandating cleanliness in the processing plants.
Conservatives are measurably dying at slightly higher rates because they have stupid beliefs and believe lies about things like drinking raw milk.
i mean more like rules as adaptation to dangerous condition that no longer exists instead of rules that prevent the dangerous condition from occuring. like, i have a habit of boiling all drinking water even after moving to a place that doesn’t require it

Poliovirus agrees and would love fewer vaccinations against it
If not for the CIA making a deal with Plague we’d be done with polio by now.
