What's truly disturbing is that the conditions are not scientifically measured, but voted on. Not scientific, but majority and never even close to unanimous.
I had a friend who was doing his PhD in psychology basically tell me this once, but I didn't take him too seriously. The bigger problem is that right wing supporters of 'the invisible hand of the market', and 'less government regulation', make it impossible to do anything about the problem (because profits are involved).
