• it’s telling that even in dumbass US, in some of the most reactionary/pro-business dumps, there are laws going far back to the earliest days of the state requiring annual inspection of scales and other commercial measuring tools by sometimes unrelated state agencies. like gas pumps being inspected and certified by a department of agriculture.

    you know the scale owners weren’t behind that.

      It’s because the businesses were fucking over other businesses. It’s very legal and very cool to fuck common people.

      Scales in Canada have calibrations done by Measurement Canada I think, I’ve never looked too closely at the stick and don’t know about the interval though
