Clarence Thomas takes aim at a new target: Eliminating OSHA
businessinsider.com
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has set his sights on eliminating the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday announced which cases it would consider next and which it wouldn't. Among those the court rejected was a case that challenged the authority of OSHA, which sets and enforces standards for health and safety in the workplace.
And Thomas, widely considered to be the most conservative justice on the already mostly conservative court, wasn't happy.
In a dissent, he explained why he believed the high court should've taken the case: OSHA's power, he argues, is unconstitutional.

OSHA just adds cost to any construction project that isn’t needed.
Hey, speaking as a construction worker, get fucked. OSHA keeps people like me alive. Just get fucked. I cannot express this passionately enough.
It’s just a bad troll account, but yeah fr
he frequently does this batshit insane stuff, and yet, for some reason, this fuckup has a fan following on Lemmy.
There is seriously a few accounts on here where they are just shit stains saying horrible shit and bullying people but they are on 24/7 and people just upvote because they look strong and sometimes say things that feel smart or empowering.
If you ever want to know how Trump got to power just look around.
There is no record of this comment 😉
So does a worksite death or injury.
Just not nearly as much, and most importantly they are held much less accountable for those things without OSHA or similar oversight.......
OSHA is better than dead workers littering the worksite.
You forgot this: /s.
At least I fuckin' hope so.
I hope so. I kinda like SatansMag...ugghh...i can't even say it.
Sometimes they can be funny, but also legit have the absolute worst takes
Jug Jug Biggs over here.
In case you're not just trying to harvest downvotes (hey, everyone needs a hobby); That's a stupid fucking take.
That is so completely insane. Do you know how many workplace injuries and deaths were eliminated because of things OSHA put in place?
You'll say that until you fall off a ledge without a guard rail
Like working on the Death Star.
So does your mom.
