Incredible! Presidential wanna-be John Kasich recently proposed a one-year freeze on all federal regulations. All of 'em. Why? Quoth Jawhnny, "You have regulations. I mean, c'mon! They're smothering people."
Whether today or a hundred years ago, industries will push the envelope because greed knows no boundaries. Without rules, regulations and labor protections, more people die.
Freezing all federal regulations for any length of time, even a day, is the stupidest fucking idea I've ever heard.
