18. You mean like filing an emergency plan for your deep-water ocean rig?
How much paperwork is it worth to maybe save eight lives?

And how about that mining accident a few years ago? Would ending regulation of the mining industry have saved those lives?

I think not.

These claims about too many regulations are always vague. Let's see precisely which regulations business wants to get rid of and why and whether those specific regulations save lives or just cause money.

Environmental and safety regulations would have to be invented if they didn't exist.
