You can't hardly find any regulations anymore. Rich folks done made 'em all extinct.

Btw racism was the norm in the north during the migration for sure.

Daley in Chicago moved planned highways to form borders for example.

Yeah, the 1800s. The "Good ol' Days that folks of a certain ideology believe were SOOOO MUCH better than today and long to take us back to..........

That is the point you nippleheads. Not where we are, but where YOU want to take us.

What we have is a highly dysfunctional regulatory structure put in place by Congress and signed into law by Nixon in the OSH Act of 1970. The resulting OSHA standards are as f*cked up as OSHA enforcement is feckless.

Didn't they lay off most of the OSHA inspectors? Just like the mine safety inspectors?

It should be completely reworked and reformed but I'm doubtful that's even possible now.

Bob, ever read Roykos' 'Boss'? A hoot!
