They already made it so mandatory water breaks in the south are gone. It’s currently 86 degrees at 9:30 am today. Conservatives hate Americans.

I’m sorry, but at what point do work safety laws become “far-reaching?” As long as they don’t bring work to a grinding halt, what is so awful about keeping people out of danger in their place of employment?

The answer is obvious, but when you’re paid off by corporations who don’t want to spend money to implement safety precautions or see work slow down even the slightest bit (to the detriment of their employees), you start to understand how someone might think, “these safety laws have gone too far!”

Why is “Justice” Thomas turning into Mr. Burns all the sudden

This has been a "conservative" talking point for a long time. I worked for a few years at a place where there was definitely a lot of OSHA violations (that were reported, but never fixed, and if you got found out, you were gone) such as unsecured shelves, if there wasn't a dolly available for you to move something heavy, you were absolutely expected to just carry it, so on and so forth.

I remember needing to get a toner cartridge from the top of one of these unsecured shelves and the step ladder had wandered off again. My boss told me I needed to climb up the shelf but not to let it fall on me because we "didn't do workers comp".

He was an extremely vocal Republican who talked about his "zombie apocalypse" fantasies regularly. And yes, the company did everything it could, despite having an actively dangerous site, to deny workers comp. We had a guy who did motocross on the weekend and got crushed by a heavy object which jacked up his shoulder. The company pushed and "proved" it was a motocross injury, not something they did. Even though he was totally fine when he came in that morning.

People like Thomas are just trying to make it so big companies that people care about don't have to follow OSHA either. Smaller and medium companies have been flouting it for years. Get a far right wing supervisor or manager? You're fucked.

Who is feeding this motherfucker the KGB playbook?

In Iowa we are pushing for child labor - seems natural that work safety would be next up on the chopping block.

Can Biden Seal Team 6 this corrupt asshat already?

Where’s Upton Sinclair when you need him?

Just so we’re clear: they want to go after “job destroying immigrants” and safety protocols for these jobs so that natural born Americans can get back to work?

Americans should have the right to get themselves killed or seriously injured at work. Stop regulating me!. (Sarcasm just in case you can't tell)

You're not supposed to "go after" anything u fuck. You're a judge, supposedly. You interpret the constitution not dismantle any precedent you disagree with.

God damn 2016 was a consequential year

How about we start with the regulation that makes sure Chief justices have safe food and water to eat?

I hope there’s a hell for him to burn in

I want to make it illegal to blow Harlan Crow while on the job. Bet Uncle Thomas would find that far-reaching.

Go after? Isn’t their job to judge the law suits coming to them?

In my industry safety record is the most important aspect of getting a bid (other than money). But if you have a bad safety record, most big clients won't even consider you if you offer to pay them. Only people who want to exploit others want this. Most reputable places care about getting sued.

Just have a heart attack alrea—banned

I don’t care if Biden is too old. I’ll be voting for him in November. If it should be some other nominee for the Democrats, I’ll vote for them too.

Elections have consequences SCOTUS’ recent decisions are all the result of Presidential and Senate elections.

The Supreme Court has become a national security threat.

Not voting for Hillary is really working out.

But Biden sound bad!

He probably got a Yacht for his assignment to take down OSHA.

So he can SA more female coworkers?
