Wow Texas sapper. Indeed that's a lot, and I agree in what you have said. Sadly, most of the regulations have been caused by ppl who have either taken unfair advantage or provided sub-par options when it comes to many of those items. Trying to level set a minimum expectation on things like wages or building codes has become now widely developed due to generally ppl not being fair or being taken advantage of.

Unions stepped in for employees at some employment places and zoning laws and codes for shitty shoddy work. When you have no baseline of work performance or things like safety and compensation, everyone suffers.

Ask anyone who ever work for a coal mine and what the company store did to them.

We got gold and silver mines in Australia.
Got some mates who's family made a living doing the work.

They'd surely be singin' a tune as they go...

Another day's over and tomorrow to go...
St. Peter - if ya call me - there's the rub,

Does that sound like it has no impact on you? Originally Posted by texassapper

I'm still happy regardless of what the Government does/does not do, for the moment. ie, it doesn't affect the QUALITY of my life, but if you think it doesn't affect you, well that's just pie in the sky denial. It affects every dollar you put in your wallet. The regime doesn't give a shit about you one way or the other.... the only reason they might is if you can negatively impact the regime.
