Retired member of the Deep State. Fond of devious socialist concepts like drinkable tap water and breathable air. Owned by a pair of the most peculiar pups imaginable.
Comparing the right-wing response to the tragic murders of the Guardsmen in DC, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk, one thing stands out.

No one suggested responding to Charlie Kirk's murder by scrutinizing and demonizing all young white males with ties to the LDS church.

More malignant stupidity from sociopaths in the current administration:

"Goddard's arm of NASA's Office of Safety and Mission Assurance was hit particularly hard by position losses..."

Because why worry about safety when you work with explosives and toxic chemicals?

NASA is sinking its flagship science center during the government shutdown — and may be breaking the law in the process, critics say
"There is just a general acknowledgement that a lot of what is happening is illegal…"

There is an OSHA Standard requiring Confined Space safety training in General Industry, Construction, Maritime Industry - every kind of work EXCEPT agriculture.

Why isn't there a OSHA Confined Space standard for agriculture? Are farm workers considered expendable?

Cow manure just killed 6 workers on a dairy farm. It happens more than you’d think.
Dairy farms are among the most dangerous workplaces. Why aren’t they regulated like it?

People don't die in confined spaces if you test the air before entering, and ventilate the space if needed. Air monitors and ventilation blowers cost a few hundred dollars each.

Or, you can just consider your workers to be expendable:

The city council of Loveland, Colorado installed the Flock surveillance cameras to "fight crime", promising that the system would not be used for immigration enforcement.

Then Loveland PD opens the system to the Federal ATF, who proceed to run queries for ICE:

We can add Denver to the "protesters were peaceful, police were not" list.

Oddly, police in most other locations in Colorado were well behaved, even in "red" areas. But Denver PD, in particular, seems determined to live down to its reputation.

RFKjr keeps killing.

Almost everything I did at work for 35 years relied on #NIOSH.

- analyzing workplace air for chemicals using NIOSH methods

- responding to chemical spills using NIOSH reference works

- selecting respirators and chemical PPE tested by NIOSH
