THOUGHTS ON SAFETY

Take a look at this photo.



The city safety nannies must have decided the construction fence was “unsafe” and required that a stair rail be installed for the concrete stairs (which have been there for years without a rail).

But take a careful look – in fact, two careful looks.

The rail is only in place where there are three or more steps in succession. Two or less steps don’t require a rail.

And on the other side of the fence, the construction workers’ “stairs” are simply dug out of the dirt. “Stairs” dug out of loose dirt are safe enough for them. I guess that’s because they have safety helmets and steel-toed shoes.

Another reason for limited government.
