Should we ban pools then? 🤨

This is what is meant by “agency capture.”Safety agencies overseeing products, food etc. have been consistently disempowered over last few decades. They can only make polite “recommendations,” w/ less power now to actually take things off the shelves - & people die because of it.

No we should not ban pools, but in some places fences are mandated and I think that’s a good thing. You think a company should be able to put toxins in food, make a dangerous product, risk worker or consumer or environmental safety with no oversight whatsoever?

Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death in children 4 and under. Over 1000+ die every year from pool accidents. So if the safety agencies were empowered to take Peloton off the shelves, as you suggest, why not also ban personal pools since they pose a bigger risk?

Remember the Nuremberg code when speaking of mandates. Please.
