10. Project 2025 at work...

I believe this is what the project called for. Abolishing OSHA.

Not the best move. Considering that in MAGA run states workers protections were rolled back. Like employers not having to provide water to employees. Employees working outside. In the Florida sun. While OSHA didn't have anything specific on that, it's obvious that if OSHA went "to the states" we'd get multi tiered workers safety standards, confusion by employees what to do in the case of a workplace incident, and employers bribing state officials to allow them to get away with some shady/sketchy stuff.
