Let's talk about un needed regulations,

Florida baffles experts by banning local water break rules as deadly heat is on the rise

Sweltering summer heat might have been more bearable for outdoor workers in Miami-Dade County under a proposal that suggested mandated breaks in the shade on the hottest days – but Florida said no.

The county's proposal to establish heat rules for workers has been preempted by a new law: Florida has joined Texas in banning such local rules for outdoor workers. Meanwhile, California, Colorado, Minnesota, Oregon and Washington have passed laws giving more protections to construction workers who work in extreme heat.

Florida's new law has frustrated and angered some experts and advocates for construction workers and farmworkers. As summers get hotter over the years, outdoor workers will need more protections, not fewer, said Luigi Guadarrama, political director of Sierra Club Florida said.





I realize this isn't what you were talking about but it does prove a point.
Nonniey , let me ask you a question, after Enron and Bernie Madoff two things that lost Billions for thousands of people , people went Bankrupt lost their homes . their retirements, don't you think they need to be regulated?


I'm assuming you meaning more alone this line, sad that they are needed.

Federal antitrust laws prevent unfair business practices that reduce competition. The following practices are banned:

Conspiring to fix prices: Competing businesses cannot work together to set prices.

Price discrimination: Businesses cannot charge different prices to different customers for the same product.

Conspiring to allocate markets or customers: Competing businesses cannot agree to split sales areas or customers in an effort to eliminate competition.

Conspiring to or forming a monopoly: Businesses are prohibited from creating a monopoly with the goal of reducing competition.
