All that is clearly the root of Brexit and the cultural dominance of aggrieved red faced spittled shirtless orboids swinging england jerseys around and chanting racist poo poo in sports stands and their elite panderers and enablers like boris and nige

I mean this reads like the United States, too but I guess we are just 30-40 years behind on progress in comparison.

They'll just make it legal to sue anyone who tries to stop the murder of an OSHA or anyone who testifies in a murder case of an OSHA inspector.

The pointless standards change reminds me of the Burma junta, who hated the standards imposed by British rule so much that they switched to driving on the right instead of the left.

Of course, that didn't magically change all the cars to be left-hand-drive, so overtaking a truck forces a lone driver to pull out into the other lane just to see if they can pass. This was so dangerous that it led to all kinds of social conventions like truck drivers flashing their blinkers to let cars behind them know when it was safe to overtake, and people driving with a friend in the passenger seat who could lean out and check if it was safe.

As a native Salt Laker, I can immediately picture where he lived and where he died. The foundry would have been for the Bingham copper mine.

it's not everyone. It's a very vocal minority propped up by OAP's and lots of billionare money to keep things from changing

and a very disinterested/demoralised opposition. If you think political engagement is bad with American youth you ain't seen nothing yet.
