TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

I have a hard time seeing "deadly but preventable explosions on a regular basis."  Maybe it's because I think in terms of movie-style explosions, but anything at least the size of a grenade should seriously snarl production for a while.  Meaning that preventative measures would be cost effective and therefore put into place.

Most industrial explosions are very small affairs.  Just enough to propel shiny little jagged pieces of metal through people.

That makes more sense.

ETA: WRT the "suicide nets", it's better than the alternative, isn't it?

Oh, by far. It isn't that suicide nets are bad, as much as it is extremely weird that they have to be a THING at all. I suppose one could argue that putting up suicide nets, as opposed to not putting up other measures, sends a sort of dehumanizing message. Of course, I don't know what other measures they may or may not have used.
Well, my gynecologist committed suicide...

They have to hold down janitorial costs, you see.
