Sorry, I don't watch videos or do homework unless assigned by an actual professor. I have no interest in what a reality TV show guy says. He's not an economist. Nor a political scientist or a sociologist or an anthropologist. You don't get it. We the People encouraged our federal govt. to pass laws protecting workers from preventable injury, unfair wages, under-age employment, unpaid overtime, unsafe work environments. We decided that the extra cost to business was worth it. Again, if these laws were too onerous, Republicans would have repealed them long ago. Why didn't they?If you don't get this video, you are part of the problem.
I see it like Mike Rowe does. I'm responsible for my safety. Not OSHA, not some employer, ME. Back in June, I was putting a service panel in for a customer. The guys that came out to pull the meter and disconnect the service (I'm legally not allowed to do that), had on some leather gloves with some electrical tape over a couple of the fingers, no safety glasses, nada, zip point shit. These guys were to disconnect the service for a big corporation (Arizona Public Service APS). I stood back, didn't say a thing, and let them do what they had to do.
They did the disconnect. I wasn't particularly thrilled that the incoming service cables were hot and just covered with some electrical tape, but that's what I had to work with. I made damn sure--double damn sure--when I was taking the old panel out and putting the new panel in that I didn't nick or otherwise scrape those cables. No OSHA or safety officer present. I was responsible for my own safety. That's how it works in reality and all the government does is get in the way and keep the stupid, ignorant, lazy, and sloppy from killing themselves. They're doing nature a disservice in my opinion.
Again, you are nothing at all related to being an Independent. You're not even a Libertarian. You're an Anarchist.
