Trump is making American workers less safe. Nearly all of the remaining staff at the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health were laid off Friday, gutting programs ranging from approvals of new safety equipment to firefighter health.

People will die. Construction sites will be much less safer. Products like heaters electrical cords power tools will be inferior quality. The same way we see more planes crashes, we will see increased construction accidents. More house fires, gas explosions. It shows they don’t care about us
NIOSH standards are essential - I'm married to a firefighter, and I want to know the gear they're wearing is up to par. They're already at elevated risk of cancer and other illnesses from occupational exposure, don't take away the ability to get new and improved gear authorized!
They also cut off funding for programs monitoring the health of Coal Miners.

When you shut these programs down, who benefits?
CORPORATIONS!
THAT'S WHO!
More money for Millionaires and Billionaires.
Working folks Die.
Dems need info-disseminating swat teams to circulate such clear cut data to fire stations, union halls, factories, etc. Data is generated, Dem info swat team should make sure it reaches the adversely affected audiences. Like old fashioned leaflet drops. Break through the disinformation walls.
All. Employees. Are Responsible for their own health and safety. The laws in any jurisdiction. Must be adhered to. Any industry flouting those laws will be Charged with endangerment.

There are worse things than being killed by a train. Surviving 🇮🇪
He doesn't give a shit about American lives, he proved that during the Covid pandemic, when he put the state of the Economy (to win the next election) above saving people from the virus.
Anyone who didn't see that wasn't paying attention !
You know what scares me? That the people in charge won't continue to obey rules and regulations that keep us safer but immediately turn to villains out to kill us because they can. What are we as humans to have so little regard for coworkers and consumers? Is this country worth saving?
We can't inhibit business profits, can we? Besides, look at the bright side. If any workers are injured or killed, that means we've created new jobs for others! 😒
Hahahahahahaha to every goddamn stupid dumbfuck inbred jackass that voted for this shit. YES YOU DID! HE TOLD, WE TOLD YOU. But, no, you told me to my face how smart you were and you knew the real score. dijit shove your face into his filthy ass and told you it was roses...aaaarrrrggh!,
Yes, but we (in 🇫🇮) have not used Asbestos in domestic dwellings since the 70s. With very minor exceptions with niche industrial/scientific applications, Asbestos was totally banned 30 years ago. 🇪🇺 level ban was created 20 years ago. I have never seen a fire break made w/ Asbestos in houses.
It’s time for daily DNC ADVERTISING featuring losses forced on us by tRump illogical Executive Orders, DOGE and the most irresponsible and incompetent Cabinet members in history.
INCLUDE the prices for these wasteful actions that no one asked for.
Insurance companies going to have field day canceling Building Contractors insurance or quadrupling the cost of zero safety procedures. That will end new construction everywhere Such brainiacs these GOP!
Firefighter health!??? Are you kidding me!? These men and women make the greatest sacrifice for Americans seven days a week, 365 days a year. You're not going to protect their health and safety? Especially, after those who risked all during 9/11 and developed illnesses. Many have passed. F%*# THIS
I remember when Reagan laid off half the OSHA inspectors. I was working in construction. We had some serious safety problems on my job. I called OSHA but because of the lack of inspectors, it took 3 months to get an inspector out there and by then conditions had changed.
If we're lucky, bastard is trying to piss off his own maganuts to start the violence, he doesn't care who or how just so he can declare martial law, then the military splits and things get really messy. Sadomasochist sociopaths, every damn one of them.

We need to start asking who would want that, and why.
