“OSHA regulations take an average of seven years to be finalized. In July, Democratic representatives introduced a bill that would force OSHA to speed up this process. It was their third attempt. They have failed to secure enough votes every time.”

That is insane. Not only do private interest groups “lobby” (bribe) our leaders to avoid regulation, even if it something miraculously goes through legislation, OSHA takes another 7 fucking YEARS to finalize it. That’s downright pathetic.

Conservatives are the minions of the corporate class. As long as conservatives have influence in legislation, there will be a lack of protection for the working class in our laws.

The solution is to remove conservatives from our politics. We either marginalize conservatism or we suffer.

I will give you two guesses

TX recently passed a law that invalidates/prohibits local ordinances mandating water breaks.

It’s not just that the laws aren’t there, it’s also because people like Abbot are doing everything they can to remove those protections.

Because those workers elect people who oppose any benefit to them.
