First! Once Splurg mothers know that their hatchling's mandibles can rot off from their competitor's drinks, the rest will be forced to follow.

Sounds like OSHA is going galactic wide

OSHA and FDA making waves in the galactic consumer goods industries

[@dadudeme]

​@@kalskirata42at least for vehicle and machine safety I would expect TÜV to take over. The kind of cars some people drive in the US are simply unacceptable safety wise.

Nice to have Humans as the careful ones for a change.

Not sure if HFY or just a working-class pub in England circa 1970

Seatbelt rule? Oh you poor poor xenos... just wait until you get hit with emissions regulations. You will have to put catalytic converters on your ships and your power will go down. Man, I see the 70-mid 80s starships engines thing just like our cars.

[@GlitchedRed]

Gotta stop those pollutants somehow. Think of the space shrimp!

Don't forget the effects of hyperspace on the fabric of spacetime. You mustn't use it too much in the same area or you'll create cosmic anamolies.

It's space, emissions won't matter unless you're running Death Stars in inner systems.

[@dadudeme]

Wait until they have to abide by the TÜV standards. Like half the self repaired cars in the US would never be allowed on a road in Germany.

I enjoy these stories where humanity is the villain.

Pander to a small but profitable demographic and enforce its standard across the whole market? Plausible, but unlikely. They would probably make a small quantity of the earth version and then advertise it as an exotic(and more expensive) alternative to the rest of the galaxy. Grass is always oranger, right?

[@zacharyhawley1693]

Close, 27% increase is nothing to sneeze at. What it comes down to in galactic terms is that humanity is more than a quarter of their entire market buying their products weekly. Being the biggest corporation and sole advocate of OSHA. Not only can they force every other corpo to follow their lead willingly or fall into bankruptcy and acquisition. They essentially have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Its the business version of a nuke.

@@zacharyhawley1693 They can still do the labeling thing, but they won't have to pivot the entire production line to make one type of drink. That part isn't zero-sum. And that way they avoid a "New Coke" fiasco.

[@FrenchLightningJohn]

exactly, just to say coca-cola is not the same here in canada compare to the US and even in mexico they are not similar, they always change some stuff to appease to the local population, so galatic wide it would not be different at all on how our corpo are already doing here

[@stevedixon921]

@@thegoldenatlas753 Not wrong, but...try looking into which administration is responsible for monitoring sandwiches with one OR two slices of bread. Hint: it is DIFFERENT for each (I could be wrong, maybe they fixed this before 2023, but I doubt it) They are likely to have just made a new formula for the Humans and labeled the old stuff as 'classic', though 27% of your revenue does have some weight. I am not marketing exec, I have soul, so who knows. Smile, it's 2023.

Not that inaccurate all things considered. Socialism in the economic sense prioritizes the safety and well being of the consumer Capitalism, as the name implies, focus on highest maximization of income. A socialist government, while capitalistic, will not hesitate to shut down an organization that, despite contributing greatly in the forms of taxes and the like, mistreats it's workers. A capitalist government would endorse such a thing.

[@dadudeme]

​@@alek7998so objectively as a regular person(ie. not business owner or major rich person) a Socialist government is preferable?
