Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has set his sights on eliminating the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday announced which cases it would consider next and which it wouldn’t. Among those the court rejected was a case that challenged the authority of OSHA, which sets and enforces standards for health and safety in the workplace.

And Thomas, widely considered to be the most conservative justice on the already mostly conservative court, wasn’t happy.

In a dissent, he explained why he believed the high court should’ve taken the case: OSHA’s power, he argues, is unconstitutional.

    OSHA just adds cost to any construction project that isn’t needed.

      Hey, speaking as a construction worker, get fucked. OSHA keeps people like me alive. Just get fucked. I cannot express this passionately enough.

            There is seriously a few accounts on here where they are just shit stains saying horrible shit and bullying people but they are on 24/7 and people just upvote because they look strong and sometimes say things that feel smart or empowering.

            If you ever want to know how Trump got to power just look around.

        Just not nearly as much, and most importantly they are held much less accountable for those things without OSHA or similar oversight…

      OSHA is better than dead workers littering the worksite.

      That is so completely insane. Do you know how many workplace injuries and deaths were eliminated because of things OSHA put in place?
