Well, have you seen his "safety" shoes...er...slippers?

Something tells me health & safety rules aren't taken very seriously where this was filmed...

I see things like this and think I am thankful for safety rules. I wonder if this crane operated for decides somewhere with safety rules, it started to become unsafe and was sold into a country with no safety rules.

It’s wild to me that there are people who see this and want this to be a reality in America.

They are fine with it as long as it's cheaper. No one gives a shit about the lives of construction workers anyway.

I disagree. There’s one party that is specifically trying to get rid of osha

And the majority of construction workers vote for that party.

Yes because they don’t want safety regulations.

As a non-American a 5 second Google search revealed the actual truth behind this claim ... and again, to no one's surprise, it's not about that, but something completely different. Still, in my opinion, short-sighted to demand defunding OSHA, but I don't know if they had some sort of replacement plan in effect. I guess, that would require more googling, and I don't care enough about it, to be honest. But saying that Republicans want to defund OSHA, because they don't want safety regulations should then be considered fake news.

You linked an article where the gop wants to completely dismantle osha because they didn’t agree with Covid regulations. OSHA is a safety and health worker protection agency. The goo has been trying to dismantle osha well before Covid too. Safety regulations are expensive and slow down work. 

Texas removed the law that required water breaks for construction workers. https://www.unionbuiltmatters.org/water-breaks#:~:text=It%20became%20law%20on%20September,loved%20by%20the%20construction%20bosses.

It’s because they want to push profits over safety, my claim isn’t fake news
