Me too. This is a very valid concern, and it's true for more than just this
particular instance.
So you should support mechanisms that are likely to reduce the probability
of corners being cut and oppose mechanisms that are likely to increase it,
right?
As has been demonstrated, removing culpability and accountability and
consequences tend to increase this probability. That's true whether the
organization dodging is private or public, although it's more likely to
occur with public organizations, which have inherently less accountability.
What we are seeing with the airlines is major dodging. But the dodging is
being done by using political power, not by market forces. See Friedman.
You should be arguing against organizations using political power for gain.
You should be arguing for mechanisms that increase culpability and
accountability. Unless, like Lawrence W. you feel that it's the civilized
thing to allow people and organizations not to face the consequences of
their actions.
