A headache for us both
 

It’s like these are being written for the express purpose of driving me to aneurysm. Please, I sincerely ask you to seriously consider the implications. This amendment, much like 50-30, guarantees the injuries and deaths of tradespeople and those who rely on their labor, which is to say all residents of Virginia. There is a great honor in having earned and mastered a trade that I wish to preserve and perhaps more universally-relatable, a rather innate human desire I have to eventually safely exit all buildings I happen to enter. I would hope you don’t find this unreasonable. This is not a matter of cutting through bureaucratic red tape or taking a rugged individualist’s stance against slick and soulless overregulation, it’s about ensuring soft-handed businessmen make another quick buck by once again sacrificing good work, human dignity, and the safety of the people we depend on to build and maintain our commonwealth. If nothing else, I cannot overemphasize how ridiculously annoying it’ll be for you to hear from me and just how often it’ll happen should this gain further traction. Thanks.
