Yes but a lot less. Many food manifacturers don't really care if the products they sell are contaminated with glass shards or stone fragments.

Nope, I'd be counterfeiting money - that's a federal law [against] isn't it? But seriously a lot of "work" in IT is vastly extended by the need for ever increasing compliance: accounting, tax, EXIM, HR and myriads of product regulations (tracing, archiving etc.)

Yes - environmental health and safety as well as supply chain - all of which are heavily regulated in some parts of the world.

Possibly not. My company is providing software interfaces for the car industry. If there were no regulations we would get a lot more work to adjust for every car brand, that could possibly make us prohibitively expensive. Standardization is a good thing. But what every company wants is a monopoly situation on their services. Just look at Apple, works really fine within their own acosystem. A pain to connect to others.

Luckily for me the UK insurance industry is reasonably well regulated well by government bodies. But we are predominantly a high net worth company for individual home insurance.

My current job isn't really due to government regulations, but some regulations that were made after I started doing this will ensure its continued existence for a long time. My current employer is "too big to fail". At least it pays well.

Interesting. Why do you think they don't care?
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.
Many of them are fairly candid about it, they're searching for the most economic inspection machinery just to follow the laws on production control. The others don't say it openly but it is evident by their approach, actions and decisions.

That's disturbing that they wouldn't care about their customer's health.

You should see some of the food products I had the questionable pleasure of seeing, smelling and manipulating. Disturbing acquires a whole new meaning :~ :~ :~

Flavor enhancers! :)
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

That's so strange. I used to work for Purina (pet foods) and they were highly strict about incoming and outgoing quality. Time to switch to Dog Chow?
