Look to "Amish Country" for some insights to the 'misery loves company' principle. Over-regulated folks assert "it's not fair- we need to apply the rules to the Amish, too!" Note that folks don't say "The Amish are right- we need to trim back our government." This, despite plenty of testimony that Amish buildings don't fall apart (or burn down) any more than "permitted" buildings. This is even more impressive, as those folks still heat, cook, and light using open flames!
OSHA needs to be eliminated.
Too true. I LIVE IN the heart of Amish Country and I can testify to that firsthand. If you followed them throughout their day, you could probably nail some safety or code violation every 10 minutes, all day long.
The one thing that OSHA and so many other safety organizations are blind to is the "happy medium". Some safety is better than no safety; moderate safety is better than extreme safety. Let the stupidity get killed off, don't let it breed!
