Milton Friedman justifies not recalling the ford pinto
RepublicansSuckDlCK
A clip of Milton Friedman answering an audience member about Ford's decision not to recall the Pinto, in which he defends weighing safety costs against benefits. The uploader's framing is strongly hostile to Friedman.
HN uses it as an example of cost-benefit reasoning about product safety in threads on recalls, security spending and Boeing.
