I really don't see the parallel here. Calling an ambulance for someone in need is a no-brainer. Also doesn't cost me anything.

But why should pick up the tab for the government failing to regulated some business and employers exploiting the lack of regulations?

Like, if there is no ambulance service in a specific region do you expect me to become an amateur EMT as well?

Right, so what's your reaction when someone's on the ground like that and there's no ambulance service? Just tell him "shit luck, mate" and walk away?

Really depends in the injury.

But assuming it's something that will kill them without immediate hospitalization ... yeah, pretty much. I guess I can sit with them till they dead ...

Unless it's taking too long because I really need to go pack my stuff and get out of this god-forsaken place without ambulance service.

Christ, I'm impressed at how fucking much you managed to miss the point...

If you disagree with the practice, then don't spend money at those businesses. Going to a tip-based restaurant and not tipping enriches the exploitative owner while adding to the exploitation.

Do you also think it's fine to buy cheap goods made with slave labor because you're not personally the one cracking the whip?
