Replacing a broken set of blinds in my house and apparently no one sells the old standard kind where you pull the cord to raise them, I guess because kids and/or pets could tangle in the cord? Bit of an education in miniblinds today.

    so by your logic since nothing is as bad as [choose any cause of death], we should just… give up on improving safety?

        I legitimately don’t understand your question. If you’re asking if the cost to improve safety may be too great in some cases, yes that is true in some cases. But you haven’t made that case in this specific instance yet.

          Well, you asked if I was arguing against improving safety when compared to fatality rates for any activity.

          But for me to have made that argument, I’d have to have said that there is no rate of fatality that would justify improving safety. So, I was asking if you think that’s true:

          Does no threshold for the rate of any cause of death justify improving safety?

          But I sucked at wording it clearly. That’s on me.

          In short, no, I’m not arguing that. Really, I was just clarifying what the person you responded to was saying. I’m not making an argument either way.
