OSHA: A Great Place for Targeted Sequestraion

Occupational Safety & Heath Administration

If ever there was a need for "targeted sequestration," this agency and it's minions are deserving of the swordsmanship of the forced reductions in manpower and capital.

Side note:  Notice how the word sequestration rhymes with castration.  Sweet isn't it!!!!

In a suburb (where I used to live actually) an AT&T repairman was killed in a violent robbery attempt in which he was struck in the head and later died (Read full story here).

Those wise government officials at the OSHA decided AT&T should be fined $7,000 for not providing the worker with a "panic button" that would have alerted authorities that he was injured.

I do not know what kind of fantasy world these government officials live in, or what they watch on television, but I know of no such panic button, other than the one sold in the commercials where a woman screams "Help, I fallen and can't get up."  And in reading the story, of course many facts are not presented, it appears that the man was hit in the head, and later died from the blow.  My bet is, since he had a cell phone, and a laptop, that the man was unconscious and unable to call for help, so the panic button would be useless.

What is sad now, is that AT&T will have to defend itself against this ridiculous charge and fine.  And that cost my friends is passed on to you.

We can only pray for the budget swordsman to locate these OSHA folks and slash their powers.
