A sad reality is that a lot of the time when money is on the line people have to be hurt or even die before anything happens. Every regulation came from too many people being hurt by their absence. And we've rolled them back so now people are going to have to pay that human cost all over again in order to learn the lessons we already knew.

"every safety regulation is written in blood" and I'd add, it's often the blood of the poor or working class.
