But why must the government do it? There are many instances in industry weights/measures are performed by independent companies. What would make them less accurate? What would make you trust the governement to perform these duties over an independent entity? Corruption?
Look into the history of the automotive industry. They had the technology for seat belts far earlier than when they were mandated to include them in cars. The reason why those car companies refused to include it as a safety feature was because the car companies refused to include any safety features, because they thought needing to include safety features implied that their cars were unsafe.
Which is the very definition of moronic.
