“OSHA regulations take an average of seven years to be finalized. In July, Democratic representatives introduced a bill that would force OSHA to speed up this process. It was their third attempt. They have failed to secure enough votes every time.”
That is insane. Not only do private interest groups “lobby” (bribe) our leaders to avoid regulation, even if it something miraculously goes through legislation, OSHA takes another 7 fucking YEARS to finalize it. That’s downright pathetic.
Conservatives are the minions of the corporate class. As long as conservatives have influence in legislation, there will be a lack of protection for the working class in our laws.
The solution is to remove conservatives from our politics. We either marginalize conservatism or we suffer.
Conservatives and Liberals are the minions of the corporate class. As long as Conservatives and Liberals have influence in legislation, there will be a lack of protection for the working class in our laws.
The solution is to remove capitalism from our politics. We either marginalize capitalism or we suffer.

If by "liberals" you are referring to U.S. neo-liberals, I won't disagree. I think regulating the fuck out of capitalism is the answer we are looking for.
