There&#x27;s no competitive advantage to <i>not</i> polluting, or we wouldn&#x27;t ever have needed an EPA in the first place!<p>There&#x27;s such an imbalance of power between employer and employee that there&#x27;s no meaningful competitive advantage to a safe workplace; if employees really were all self-empowered free agents, and not scared and hungry people with families and children to support, we wouldn&#x27;t have needed an OSHA in the first place!<p>All the regulations the libertarians want to turn back, they all came about in response to the world working so imperfectly that it had to be changed with force of law.<p>Undoing that, on the basis of a theory with absolutely no real-world evidence of working?  That just doesn&#x27;t make sense.
