This has always been what sticks in my mind when people talk about "job creation" to help rural Americans. We go to these old timey industries (farming/mining), update the technologies involved in them to better help the businesses, and then exploit the living hell out of some human labor to keep profits very high and the cost of the product super low. Regulations aren't there to "kill business", they're there to keep us from backsliding into serfdom and child labor. A byproduct is hindering business, but useful regulation should weigh the societal costs and determine that the businesses need to be slowed/hindered for the greater good.
