You could call this a sequel to my last question, but I was genuinely curious. Question inspired by someone I know joking about being arrested for selling donuts to someone who died as a result because they didn’t need junk food.

    Obviously, anyone selling guns would be slippery slope murder.

    But, military contractors would be committing slippery slope war crimes, including genocide.

    Gas stations for selling those crack pipes which facilitate drug use.

    Car dealerships would be aiding & abetting. They’d also be involved with vehicular manslaughter, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, …really any trafficking. Add all transportation forms to the list.

    Bars for DUIs and related deaths. Also, child abuse, physical & sexual assault.

    All comms technology, including phones & computers, would be involved in espionage & conspiracy. Internet device manufacturers and ISPs would be engaged in facilitating data piracy & fraud.

      In BC, Canada bars and servers can be held liable up to millions of dollars for DUIs and drink driving accidents when they over-server someone.

      The mandatory government licensing course for all who server alcohol, Serving It Right, makes it clear and even cites an example where a server sent someone home in cab. The person them left their home in their car, and the server was fined.
