This is the source of the whole disagreement.

1. Lets assume that nasty boss is exactly what you say he is. If I work for him, and die. He lost an employee. If Im good at what I do, he lost a good employee.

2. If I die in said job, what has the government regulator lost? Nothing. He will have his bagel and coffee the next morning just the same as the nasty boss.

That nasty boss may not give a rats arse about your health. But thinking that the government cares about you personally, is funny.

Yeah, I get ya. I guess I don't understand the argument of a company complaining about government regulation when they already are in compliance. What's the complaint?

and without regulation, the boss has nothing to lose if you die...

look up stats with this country in what many of us would call dangerous working conditions. with regulations,less people die. without them, more people have.

I'm going to repost what I said a few pages back because it is equally relevant here (and also because it is hard to make a point with any substance while typing on my phone):

Sure, if a company does nothing to keep their employees safe that is a bad situation. On the other hand, the government could mandate that an employer spend an inordinate amount of its resources keeping its employees safe. Neither are good because they do not maximize the benefit to society. Somewhere in the middle benefits are maximized. The good thing is that free markets most commonly maximizes these benefits. If a company spends too much on safety, they are unable to compete in price with other companies that don't. If a company spends too little on safety, they can't make products because employees will stop working there in favor of safer working environments. All-in-all, the market works itself out in these cases.

Good question. I assume they see the government taking a more prominent role in their industry. Maybe even taking it over completely.

He's not. He's pretending that the political process of burying costs has been an issue for 200 years.

YOU'RE one that said nobody complained and did anything about government largesse since the post office was created.... That wasn't me. I never had said that.

I love the hyprocrisy of this board.

I think you can read, but the processing appears an issue.
