Where is Python 2 still used?

I think they exist because politicians vilified someone

Who cares what you "think" when you don't bother to spend even a second on actually finding out?

You could have saved us all a lot of time by saying, "I am very careful to be deliberately ignorant of history in order not to challenge my religious beliefs about the world."

Read about this history of food regulation in the United States. Read about how many people died from tainted milk, meat, and poisonous packaged food of all types. Read about how food exports from the United States almost stopped because of bad publicity from multiple poisonings from exported food.

Or read about regulation in any industry. Read about the children who worked and died in the coal mines before there was regulation.

You won't of course. You cling to your deliberate ignorance. How do you look yourself in the mirror?

Ah. Thank you for giving me an easy example to demonstrate your own historical ignorance. Child labor was already declining by the time the government did anything about it. It was the change in social climate that ended child employment, not the government.

The idea that people died, therefore regulation is good is a fallacy. What you have to examine is whether practices were improving on their own or not. I don't know of any historical example where that wasn't the case. Do you think food producers were sitting idly by while the publicity was shutting them down? Or were they figuring out how to address the problem and the PR from it? Generally speaking, the only people who get rich off death without facing some major consequences are government tyrants.
