Yep… its the same with almost all regulations, too.
You know, those pesky things conservatives and big business say stifle innovation and reduce money making.
and its true, they reduce innovation and reduce money making… because it stops them from cheaply dumping toxic waste in drinking water, then innovatively selling us filters to clean out the toxic waste.
It stops them from innovating by putting powdered chalk in spoiled milk to whiten it back up, to save profits from loss and sell what would have been losses to the public.
It stops them from mixing coal dust in pepper.
It forces them to provide safety equipment to workers, and cover injuries caused on the job, rather than innovating by letting workers get black lung and be fired once they can no longer work, to die miserable deaths.
Regulations are to the benefit of workers, customers, and the general public. Which is why conservatives and big business hate them, because keeping the public safe and having healthy markets means taking a small portion of money away from million/billionaires.
