I must admit, this is the first time I've seen a libertarian bold enough to dress up something as inane as dismantling OSHA with rhetoric deliberately evocative of modern progressive social movements. As though, by dismantling an agency dedicated to assuring safe working conditions, you're doing something akin to legalizing same-sex marriages. I have mad respect to anybody that bold, but give me a break!
- sneak 7y agoWhy do someone’s own choices about their own body remain valid when you agree with them, but not when you disagree with them? I have given you a break: I have given you a logical, rational, sincere position, without snark or subterfuge. I did not argue for dismantling OSHA; these are moral statements independent of any national law. If anything, I argued against using violence to force people to do things (which is what OSHA, among thousands of other governmental organizations of every flavor around the world, do as a matter of course). Using violent coercion to alter a consensual agreement between two adults interacting voluntarily is immoral, and denies the agency of the people agreeing to trade on those terms.
