I disagree with the ruling because the bone in question was described as "long, thin". If it was just bone chips, then it wouldn't have caused the complainant issues. Because of that description I think the liability should (ultimately) be on the party the was responsible for deboning the chicken.
I could be wrong about how liability cases work, but I think the Ohio case should have held the restaurant liable for the complainant's injury/distress but allow their findings to be carried into a suit from the restaurant against the supplier of the bag of boneless wings.
No deboning process is going to be perfect, but that's what liability insurance is for. I do think no "long, thin" bones should make it through a reliable deboning process, tho.
I know you are getting downvoted, but I call the seat furthest from the aisle the "window" seat no matter what is on the "far" side of it.
So, I think it's entirely possible that United wins this case in front of a judge. If it gets decided by a jury, I'd expect at least one person of the 12 (or so) to insist that "window seat" means there has to be a window.
So we should ban every[thing that can] be used to harm oneself?
No. They should all be legal to acquire and self-administer.
Do you also think the FDA should stop having standards for food and drugs?
No. They enforce accuracy of labeling, which is important for people to make informed (consent) decisions about what they self-administer. They should stop making it illegal for a willing recipient to acquire an accurately labeled substance and self-administrate said substance.
They are materials that can be much more dangerously self-administered. Anything less dangerous can't be justifiably banned restricted solely on the dangers of self-administration.
The merging of government and corporate power structures has more in common with fascism than with authoritarian communism or liberal libertarian socialism.
Maybe it's just the gourmand in me, but this is also my priority. It seems like we should be able to ensure no human goes hungry. Production isn't an issue, it's distribution/logistics.
There is a difference between safety regulation and paternalism that I think you are failing to parse.
There is a fundamental right to bodily autonomy that you aren't valuing.
You can call it whatever you want, if you prevent a person from self-administering any substance, you are violating their human rights.
On top of that, many, many OTC substances are much more lethal than HRT, so the risks of HRT cannot be great enough to justify them not being available OTC.
Data is not the plural of anecdote. As has been pointed out elsewhere in the thread, many countries have OTC HRT and do not have significantly higher morbidity or mortality rates associated with those materials. Your experiences, in the form you've shared them, are NOT citeable. So, we're still at "Citation Needed" stage.
I think that uneducated or gullible people deserve full bodily autonomy, even if that means bad results from their choices.
Certainly, educated and sophisticated people can also get bad results from their choices; I see no reason to deny them to anyone else.
I'm all for a person educating themselves before making a decision to ingest some material, but the final decision MUST BE THEIRS, and not someone else's.
Yes, the decisions are often difficult, and I personally know I'm an idiot with a bias NOT to ingest something. But, I refuse to deny someone else their freedom based my judgements, or even the judgements of "experts". I think there are a LOT of good reason to, so I will almost universally defer to an expert, but I refuse to DEMAND everyone else make that same decision.
Your model of “total bodily autonomy” with every medication being OTC would drastically worsen the Darwinian hell caused by medical misinformation.
Depending on the year model of the car, it might not make that sound. It wasn't required on some of the earlier EVs, which could be eerily quiet. I believe it's required by law on newer models. Pre-2016 Volts has a "pedestrian horn button"; 2016 and newer Volts play a noise continuously as lower speeds. (My Uncle says it sounds like the warp drive hum on the original Star Trek Enterprise.)
I was on a 4-month schedule before 2020, but they switched me to a 6-month schedule once I was comfortable going back. My gums are in a much better shape now.
I hope you continue to get the care your body needs, if that stays 4-month cleanings or changes.
