There's a very big societal cost in the higher injury/death rates owing

folks not being individually responsible-enough to use them.

Well, then, technically, I remain correck:

Well, fundamentally they're the same...and should be concerned about
"their" bottom line since again, fundamentally, that's us.

Mebbe, but I would still maintain coincidentally so..... * *

Simple question. You claim you believe in the public good.
Yet you're dismissive of seat belts? Hasn't adding seatbelts
to all vehicles benefitted the public in a significant way by reducing
serious injuries and deaths? Lives saved, disabling injuries
avoided, less productivity lost, hospital $$$ and lifetime care
costs saved? Same question for air bags?
