That’s something that always gets me with certain safety recalls.
Like the Samsung Note 7’s second recall. Something like 1 out of 2 million phones caught fire. It just happened to do it on an airplane and got the phones banned by the FAA. Nobody was injured by the phones catching fire.
How many people died in car wrecks going to the store to swap out their phones?
driving is an apt choice to compare because it’s fucking disgusting how many people it kills every day and no one seems to give a flying fuck about it.
society is constantly actively choosing to let people die in horrible crashes simply because it is convenient.
How many of those people were only going to swap their phone though? How many would have been driving anyway. How many would have been killed doing something else because they weren’t going to swap out their phone…
While an interesting thought, there’s no way to know an alternate timeline of events.
And I heard you’ll more likely die on your way to collect your win than actually win the lottery.
And I heard home is a very dangerous place, cos lots of people die because of it…or at it?

Exactly. In general, our willingness to do stuff depends heavily on convenience.
