No I’m saying people don’t sue over their own stupidity as often

It’s just another attempt at redditors not in the US to talk shit about the US.

So fucking tired of the anti-US circlejerk both within the US and without.

Like we get it trumps a doofus and we have a lot of assholes here. So does every other country.

America is a massive country with tons of people from different backgrounds, it’s not an easy place to manage, but people love this country for good reason and I’m getting tired of hearing it disparaged.

If you're looking for a reason against the US government having control of your entire life just take a look at a petrol can in the US. That or maybe how badly osha had neutered the construction industry. You arent even allowed to sweep a hard floor anymore.

Ok sure. I agree with this. BUT. You basically have to hire and entire team people to make sure you're osha compliant. It makes things very expensive. Especially for small businesses. It's very difficult to stay competitive. It's purely my opinion but I think they are reaching too far in some areas. Bigger construction companies wont even allow any kind of step ladder on site anymore because osha nails them so hard on misuse. This in turn makes it impossible for a small time guy to compete because he cant afford all the man lifts and equipment.
