I haven't the foggiest clue what incentive would there have been to create OSHA. Why not ask the Counterfactual Club?

Sure. The sweet victory of ObamaCare is that that people can work 3 x 29 hour jobs, for a total of 87 hours, and still not have medical benefits. Be sure to blame corporations, and not bureaucrats. Remember: and unmanaged market is chaos, since capitalism is slavery. Trust your Government, and experts, except for brief two-minute spurts of anti-police H8.

Doesn't that answer itself? If I was making money on it, wouldn't I plug it harder? You stay schmucky, girl.

My argument is: you have failed to uphold your end.
It is the height of hilarity to watch you try to argue around this basic point, funny man.

Hey, speaking of moveable goalposts, why don't you admit that the Constitution was a pact between States written to create a Federal government, while specifically not re-inventing that of Great Britain? Of course the ideals expressed in the Constitution are not about, say, downtown Salem, Massachusetts. Guess what? That was a matter for. . .Massachusetts.
The concept of Federalism has been completely obscured by the motorized goalposts of Progress, no?

Once upon a time, there was a Godless Commie dickhead named Slippery Slope who was running for office. And he was a gungrabber. He knew that he had four goals:
a: Keep getting elected.
b: "Take Action(TM)" via legislation
c: Hollow out the 2A by making a series of purportedly "Who could possibly argue with that?" statements to make the right of self defense so costly as to be unavailable to the hoi polloi.
d: Shrilly shout about how stridently he supported the Constitution, while rendering it moot and burying it in endless regulations.
Fortunately, there had been enough shenanigans that the voters saw through his falsehood, and voted his Commie butt out.
So he cursed the NRA, and the patriots who saw through his disgusting little schemes.

No, we have not, in any way you can reasonably defend.

I afford false ideas every bit of the respect they merit.

In the United States, politicians are far too busy raising frogskins to fund their re-elections to do anything as mundane as analyze legislation, much less read it.

People are fallible.

Wow, going the Full Damn_Registrars? Look, I'm willing to agree that the law has over-reached here, and the government needs to pull back from regulating individual lives in this matter. But that's not enough for you. You need more. What is it, precisely that you need from me here? You accuse common sense of being religious dogma (when have I ever made an assertion of a Diety saying something in a Tome that would qualify as such? Ever? Show me--I'm kinda sure you're full of it there), and then accuse me of hypocrisy. What specific rule am I attempting to use against another specific person that I'm not applying to myself?
I mean, maybe I've engaged in some hypocrisy. Could you help me out and tell me exactly what that would be?

So, what's your remedy? Would you support a single world government to implement OSHA and wage standards globally?
Or are you saying, like damn_registrars might, that "This is a job for Super Union!"
Possibly a good first step is to stipulate that "There is no One True Answer", and move toward seeking a least-worst operating point.

Carelessness happens with a variety of objects, to include guns. Cars just don't have the same totemistic mystique.
To your point, though: we're talking about idiot parents here, and it's a blessing that the result wasn't more tragic.

Yeah, that's about as close to hard sell as I get.

The libertarian refrain that "The only cure for bad free speech is more free speech."
It does not seem to follow that the only cure for bad laws is more laws.
Maybe, just maybe, the case is that there is some "optimal legislation" line, past which, like a rose bush gone wild, the only remedy is to prune.
I don't grasp exactly what you mean by "two step". There are false ideas that I cannot support, irrespective of the propaganda in circulation today. You seem to be trying to pin a flavor of hypocrisy on me.

Unless the text in question is The Communist Manifesto. You have been somewhere between impotent and emasculated on that one. But hey: consistency is only a club to wield against conservatives, isn't it? :-)
