It is the slow breakdown of worker responsibility described as in Atlas Shrugged. Regulation upon regulation leads to the people feeling like they don’t need to think or use common sense. The culmination mark is the tunnel scene where the wrong kind of train is used. The lead up to the moment describes the layers upon layers in the decision tree to use one locomotive or wait. But sprinkled throughout the storyline is the malaise of common sense and safety.

As we wind down into the socialist/fascist pit we will begin to witness a drop in workplace safety. These ‘accidents’ we’re seeing now are just the tip of the iceberg. As these ‘accidents’ increase in frequency, expect to see tougher enforcement or more ‘rules’ put into place.

We’d have to do some research, but curiosity would be to look at ‘accidents’ during the Clinton, Bush years verses what we’ve witnessed under 0bama in a short 5 year span?

The reality is these ‘accidents’ are just a symptom of the larger changes taking place in our culture and society.
