SawStop has petitioned the Consumer Product Safety Commission to make
their
proprietary technology *mandatory*. How they finance it is irrelevant. The
problem many of us have with their behavior is that having first failed
in the
marketplace, they are now attempting to use the government to force the
adoption of a product that the free market decided it didn't want.

Right, and the petition was rejected.

As it should have been.

Now they are manufacturing their own
line of tooling with sawstop. Besides, the free market never decided they
did not want it, it was once again the manufacturers lack of concern for the
safety of the consumer that decided they did not want it. How is that a
failure?

So now you claim to be privy to the manufacturers' decision-making processes,
and in your omniscience you can state with certainty that their rejection of
SS was based entirely on lack of concern for safety. Economic reasons had
nothing at all to do with it.

Riiiiiiiiight.
We' shall see if the free market wants it or not.
