Yep this is what a free for all market looks like.

Thinking corporate America will sufficiently regulate itself is a pipe dream. It's an infantile level of mental functioning.

Class action lawyers will step into the void.

Probably way cheaper to regulate, but then what would lawyers do ??

It's called libertarianism.

It's too bad that we can't force the executives' families to stay at the industrial plants.

[The Grand Nudger]

I think we'd have to flip a coin over whether conditions would improve..or the plant would hire trash executives who don't care whether their families lived or died. My moneys on the latter..because it would cost a lot less money. I got a cousin named Cletus that would take the job and stuff his family in the fucking boiler for less than minimum wage.

Maybe I'm missing something but where in this story does it indicate that a lack of regulation is the cause?

The article uses the word "accident".

Could be employee error: "Workers were mixing chemicals used in oil and gas drilling when the first of two explosions occurred...".
