Crazy Fire Laws

"In a study published today, a decreased likelihood of pregnancy is linked to flame-retardant chemicals found in foam furniture, electronics, fabrics, carpets and plastics. Californians may have higher exposures because of the state's strict flammability laws."


Sometimes the firemen put through laws that save lives by taking lives or preventing lives.

Sometimes they put though laws that save lives at the cost of $100,000,000 per life.
These are crazy laws.

How many lives could really be saved with $100,000,000 if the money were allocated intelligently?

How much does it cost to be safe?
When is it better to just take the risk?
Don't ask the experts. They all have vested interests.
