I think one place to start would be with ownership.
Make it illegal to sell a vehicle to someone without a valid license.
Make it impossible for someone with a second conviction to be the registered owner of a vehicle for 5 years. Lifetime for third conviction.
There are already ways to charge registered owners for the infractions of those they allow to drive their vehicle. A few tweaks should be enough to make it virtually impossible for a repeat offender to gain access to a vehicle.
Your "installer financed" system is sort of like what is available from some solar panel installers. I don't know if it's just a plain lease or rent to own, though.
I'm not sure about guarantee. That implies perfection which is never attainable in anything. But requiring transparent evidence of due diligence is certainly doable. As are penalties for failure to meet some kind of standard.
It's past time to institute "grading standards" on large datasets. I have in mind the same kind of statistical standards that are applied in various kinds of defect and contamination analysis. For example, nobody ever guarantees that your food is free of animal feces, only that a fair and representative sample didn't find any.
I retired from our volunteer department one year ago. I encourage everyone to look into what's involved. Most people see firefighting as this dangerous activity. While it can be, the training is spectacular and reduces risks dramatically.
More importantly for the risk averse, there are many tasks that have very low or even negligible risk by nature. Communications, logistics, pump operations, driving, equipment and hall maintenance, extinguishing hot spots after the fire is over, traffic control, IT support. In a decade of service, I never once found myself on the front lines, because I focused on support roles that would have otherwise taken less risk averse people off the front lines.
And for the women out there, our department has had female members continuously since the mid-1980s, many of whom have served on the front lines.
Yes, that is how the law works. I think, that within limits, that is how it should work. Where I have difficulty is in figuring out those limits.
For another example, Canada has gone many decades explicitly prohibiting consecutive sentencing. There seems to be some movement in at least softening that prohibition. I can see why that might be a good idea in some cases, but I don't want Canada to just go all-in on consecutive sentencing.
Basically, the Saskatchewan playbook. We no longer have provincial liquor stores, and it shows in staff knowledge (lower), service levels (lower), and pricing (higher). To my eyes, selection has gone downhill, too, but that may actually be larger market forces. (I like a wide variety of beers, but detest the fruit-flavoured ones. It's getting harder to find variety packs and especially variety packs that don't include the fruit-flavoured ones.)
He died nearly 30 years ago. I'm getting my son some emergency stuff for his vehicle now that he's decided to buy one.
We seem doomed to always follow the process without skipping steps. The first child welfare organizations were modeled on the existing animal welfare organizations.
On my worst days, I think that the real reason certain people want to ban recording what goes on in animal agriculture is because legally requiring the humane treatment of animals tends to lead to legally requiring the humane treatment of humans.
On the one hand, I think you need to put trigger warnings on that shit.
On the other, part of me is pissed that, at 67, I might not live long enough to say "I fucking told you so!" to all the idiots around me and have it mean anything.
I thought the warning label was because they were letting the stuff through. If they were stopping it, the warning label would be unnecessary.
They could add it to the actual labour code instead of making it standalone. Anything in the federal code becomes the baseline for provincial labour code. For example, every provincially regulated industry must provide at least 1/26 annual earnings as vacation pay, because it's not legal to write a provincial code that is "less than" the federal code. Provinces like SK have bumped that to 3/52 for their provincially regulated industries, but cannot choose to reduce it below 1/26.
Yes, I wondered how to express that. I settled on "registered". Where I live, the vast majority of on farm vehicles that can be are formally registered for use on public roads and streets and must display appropriate plates or permits. The vast majority of the rest are some combination of expensive to operate, slow moving, or not permitted to park in town.
As with all edge cases, some are worth dealing with and others can just be left as cracks in the system, at least until we see how things play out.
