Ah yes the ol “It’s cheaper sometimes to kill a couple people than employ a few more people” argument.
Haven’t heard that one in a while.
What is the going rate for a human life these days? 3 Full time employees? 4?

Historically speaking, it’s sadly far from uncommon.
They just cross their fingers and hope that it never happens. Companies have a bad habit of deciding that they would keep more money paying for a lawsuit than they would keep by paying employees. If a company is worth billions, a few million is a drop in the bucket.
There’s a VERY good reason for many safety regulations. A lot of these regulations have been paid for with blood and death.
I wish we were better as a species, but here we are.
Nah you just accused human drivers of being meth-heads.
