What Is Wrong With OSHA?

What I mean is, why do Republicans want it disbanded? Because of financial waste? I always saw the work they do as being beneficial to workers and to keep everyone safe. Am I missing something, here?

To save the oligarchy (business owners) money. Complying with OSHA regulations means keeping people, property, and the environment safe, but it all comes at a cost. It likely means buying the proper safety equipment, undergoing inspections, installing a compliance officer, paying for medical, and more. You can expect anything that benefits workers to get cut.

They simply feel it's unnecessary. I believe we've gotten so used to things being okay, that we take it all for granted. We tend to forget why we have the agencies and regulations in the first place.
