"I can think of one regulation re. noise levels in plants that saves worker's hearing. That is imposed "on" the company "for" their employees. The employees would otherwise go deaf and the general public, nor the company's customers, their clients couldn't care less." you suppose that as the problem became known that the company wouldn't address it. but they would address it because they would be forced to in several ways.. first they would be facing lawsuits from people that were injured. second, they would find hiring to be increasingly expensive because people would not want to work in an environment where they could lose their hearing. it would be cheaper for the company to improve the working conditions, and out of self-interest they would do it. it looks like we're just going to go round in circles on this and i don't want to clog up dave's board. in closing i'd just say that intervention by government in the market place is socialist policy. it will eventually bring down the socialists, but unfortunately it will bring down everyone else with them. the more government gets involved in our private lives the more we are going to suffer for it. and the less government gets involved in the market the more prosperous we will become.
