This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

From the assumption that nets would only be installed as the result of a lawsuit and that the nets would cost the hospital money it doesn't have, when in fact they probably save the hospital money.

This is just how it works, in my experience. Most safety precautions are installed in response to a disaster, not in anticipation of one.

You can't tell me the comment I replied to wasn't a negative reaction.

It’s funny that your name is objection and you’re objecting :) cheers

You're assuming that public hospitals are well enough funded to use discretionary funding in this way. Even the best health systems do not carry a surplus.

It literally saves the hospital money.

It's clearer as time goes on that you have no experience with public sector funding. You're just being contrary for its own sake.

Literally costs negative money.
