On the recordMarch 22, 2000
This month the Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced that American homes are dangerous and ``a hazard to workers who work in their own home.'' Now, if that is not enough to bust your subdermal hematoma, check this out: employers who allow their own employees to work out of their own homes are now liable if their employee gets hurt in their very own home. Beam me up. What is next? Will husbands be fined for an aggressive honeymoon in their very own home? I recommend that Congress ship OSHA to Japan and China, and let them screw those countries up. I yield back the fact that these overburdening regulations in America are killing American jobs and forcing American companies to move overseas.
