Or, as the Republicans would say, "WE don't need no big government, we don't need no stinkin' OSHA".

But it does seem odd, even perverse, to me that anyone harmed by the actions of another would immediately run to the biggest band of criminals in North America -- the "legislators" and "regulators" in Washington -- as a solution. First of all, you seem to be putting the cart before the horse when you say "anyone harmed by the actions of another". The *whole point* of agencies like OSHA is to keep people from being harmed in the first place. If the OSHA mandated belt guards were installed, Coohoo's buddy would not have been sucked in in the first place. Finally, "odd, even perverse" is your opinion of regulators. Personally, I'm sort of glad that we have agencies like the FDA and the FAA, to name just two. Are they perfect? Heck, no. Are they better than taking your chances with private businesses driven by greed? In my opinion...yes, waaay better. Please remember that these regulatory agencies came into being solely because of scandals and disasters usually caused by the carelessness and/or greed of private businesses wanting to save a buck (like not installing the belt guards). |
