As a person working in safety; I think reform would be beneficial (the C19 BS was so much of an overstepping of authority). Abolishment of OSHA would put the American worker at further risk. It is the Government's job to protect the citizen of the nation - protect from foreign & domestic adversaries, protect from being taken advantage of in trade, protect from being maimed, injured, or killed by their employer, protect from being taken advantage of by companies with more purchasing power than the average citizen (e.g., monopolies, insurance companies) etc. - an oversight body like OSHA, if properly executed, can continue the free market, but still hold the employer responsible to ensure a safe workplace.

The company i currently work for is fairly safety-focused but only because there is a government obligation to be safety focused. all employers will fall into the productivity over people thought trap and 99% of the time, productivity wins out. If the company is able to pay out an insurance claim and continue to rake in the money they will, regardless of the consequences, if there is no authority telling them they have to provide a safe working environment.

Now, employees being retarded, doing stupid shit and then getting hurt, i don't see that as a responsibility of the employer and this is definitely an area where OSHA can use some significant reform.

While I agree with the sentiment the graphic is presenting; Our side needs to ensure we are being accurate with the facts. Using big numbers is eye catching but if we don't read the fine print we can easily be challenged which could catch us off guard. The graphic is kind of cancer - large text is eyecatching, but misleading (minor clarification is less visible under the large text); White on gray prevents the reader from being able to read all the data (look for the details for pancreas). Lastly, there are no citations. We need a source to be able to back what we say up. from there we can argue our moral high ground with inassaultable data.

Again, I agree with the position in the graphic; it's abhorrent that a single baby is worth about as much as a honda civic in a back alley chop shop (~5.5k); i just think that we need to present our data better.

if we go by the American Revolution type stats where 3% of the population was needed to shift the tides; with a global population of ~8.1 Billion, we'd only need roughly 243 million to be alert (theoretically)

Regeneron is a pharma company. They have a facility in Tarrytown NY, you just take Exit 23 on the Saw Mill River Parkway, make the left (spez: if you're coming from CT) and then you drive through their campus as the building literally goes over the road
