Am I allowed to blame the moral hazard caused by the corporate diffusion of responsibility?
Comment on Still trapped on Baltimore ship, months after bridge collapse
livus@kbin.social 1 month agoBit of a weird take. The ship had faulty equipment and the crew did what it could to try to avert the disaster.
The ship's owners are who you should blame.

Definitely. Global shipping is riddled with moral hazard and artificial externalities.

Fair enough, but that still does not justify them being stuck on a ship for several months, because 1) there is no “due process” (search online for it’s proper definition and not the perversed US instituonalist definition), 2) it’s punishment without verdict, and 3) it’s inhumane. Actually, it’s an edge case the US judicial system is not capable of handling, because the US judiciary is lead by morons.
Again, you don’t get to justify this kind of treatment of people “because they did bad”. What’s next, a return to witch burning because the milk soured? The average deck hand, who had no power or influence over the matter, should have weeks of their pay disappear, meaning their families will go without food?
Why do yanks continuously defend, deflect and try to gloss over their own governments incompetence and unethical behaviour? The US needs dire judicial reform.

I think you might have replied to my comment by accident.
