Texas Republicans have decided on a platform that includes abolishing minimum wage, cancelling climate research, banning the teaching of evolution at schools, and repealing the voting rights act, among other things, but hilariously (or depressingly) the one thing on this laundry list that people are angry about is their plan to "rehabilitate" homosexuals, a practice that many say is harmful.

It's more of an induced negligence. When the owner() reward cost cutting but not safety and drive a constant message of faster! faster! and sometimes even faster and cheaper or someone will have to go!, it's only natural that someone will cut one too many corners.
At Chernobyl, plant management pressed for the test to be completed by the under-qualified (under-trained) evening shift because the upper management (safely far away) would start chopping heads if it didn't happen. The evening crew pressed forward so it wouldn't be their heads. Training costs money and not kissing upper management's feet costs jobs.
In Japan, they should have paused to formalize a procedure or at least do a safety calculation, but time is money and managers who cost too much monbey don't get promoted...
It's a natural result of human nature, the hierarchical structure of most organizations and garbled communications. Sometimes you need an outside force to put the brakes on it, such as evil government regulations.
