What are the potential consequences and absurdities of recent legislative efforts to abolish OSHA and roll back worker protection laws?

Jon Stewart critiques the dangerous implications of abolishing OSHA, highlighting how such moves would essentially return America to pre-1870s labor conditions when workplace safety was non-existent and child labor was commonplace. He uses humor to expose the contradiction in politicians who advocate for eliminating worker protections while claiming to "make America great again," pointing out that the historical periods they romanticize were marked by significant injustices and exploitation. Stewart's analysis reveals how rolling back these protections would undermine decades of progress in ensuring fair and safe working conditions for all Americans.
