It’s so stupid that I have to laugh so I don’t cry
 

What an insulting, ignorant, and frightening piece of work this is. I shudder to imagine the innumerable workplace injuries and deaths legitimately *guaranteed* by an amendment as deluded and myopic as this. I understand that you’re the company men in this age old dynamic and you’re a whole lot more preoccupied with the bottom line than I am but you’ve got to have the brain cells and the business sense to know selling unsafe work for cheap doesn’t turn out to be a particularly lucrative venture in the long run once the inhabitants of your projects sue your pants off after having their lives destroyed by a wiring fire. And you work in these buildings? And Youngkin’s comfortable putting you and himself in that position, spending every day in death traps constructed by an 18 year old with no training, a debatable degree of sobriety, and no meaningful oversight? Guess that’s your call, but you’re braver than I.
