How do you distinguish these behaviors?


There are a lot of regulations. They were inspected. They failed inspections. Then the inspectors did nothing. All the additional regulations can be added that we want, but if the inspectors don't close the plant, they are meaningless.


Sure, but regulation without enforcement is a meaningless concept. This just looks like defacto lack of regulation to me.


Agreed. I’m for fewer regulations, but enforced.

In this case, we have several deaths. Perhaps the head of the factory and the inspectors that failed to keep the plant safe should be tried for third degree murder or something.


You can't. It's meaningless. If the government tells you you have rights, but there's no practical way to claim those rights, then you have no rights and the government is lying in your face.
