Texas Standard for October 8, 2015
Another day, another chemical plant explosion. What does it say about the culture of safety? Plus: A historic mass release of federal prison inmates has some south Texas sheriffs on edge. Also: Remember when Volkswagen urged us to think small? A commentator suggests some big thinking might be in order when it comes to business ethics. All those stories, plus the top three tech trends for the next year and more. It’s Texas Standard time.
