“Texas has always prided itself on its free-market posture. It is the only state that does not require companies to contribute to workers’ compensation coverage. It boasts the largest city in the country, Houston, with no zoning laws. It does not have a state fire code, and it prohibits smaller counties from having such codes. Some Texas counties even cite the lack of local fire codes as a reason for companies to move there. But Texas has also had the nation’s highest number of workplace fatalities — more than 400 annually — for much of the past decade. ”

The New World of Work is Completing Tasks Your Local Government Used to Handle.
There’s one necessary product awaiting the right industrial designer: the countertop compost bin. All options on the market look like mini-fire hydrants or toilet brush holders, and some retail in excess of $200. If your city doesn’t require at-home composting, they may already be looking at the model of San Francisco, where I live, which has achieved its goal of 75 percent diversion from landfill (and penalizes those who toss their food scraps in the trash). The compost bin is one product in need of a practical, affordable and aesthetic upgrade.
The Obama administration proposed 97 new regulations...today. 2,012 new regulation proposals in the last month.
With the GOP retaining control of the House of Representatives, one can fully expect the Obama administration to continue their practice of bypassing Congress altogether and governing via fiat and regulation.
According to Regulations.gov (a government-run site that posts all new regulations), the Obama administration posted 97 regulation proposals just today. In the past 30 days, the administration has posted over 2,000 new regulation proposals on everything from Medical devices to coal mines to polyester imports.
This explosive growth in regulations is quite alarming. In 2011 the cumulitive cost of new regulations from the Obama administration is estimated to be over $46 billion. In case you were wondering, this President is issuing new regulations a far faster rate than any of his predecessors.
The Obama administration actually missed the last legal deadline for releasing his regulatory outlook document, essentially breaking the law in an effort to minimize the impact it would have had on the election.
Instead of working with Republicans in Congress, this administration has chosen to govern via unaccountable, unelected bureaucrats through the regulatory process. Now that Obama doesn’t need to worry about another election, you can fully expect the next four years to be a regulatory nightmare.
“The (Standard Oil Refinery) factory looked harmless enough from the outside, a typical brick building with narrow windows set in stone. Inside, the familiar sounds of work - the hiss and clank of the pipes, the grumble and clatter of the retorts - could be heard. But then came the unfamiliar - a smell carried by vapors rising from the machinery, not the usual odor of gasoline but the dull, musty scent of tetraethyl lead. Five years earlier a chemical engineer working for General Motors had discovered that tetraethyl lead cured a stubborn knocking problem in car engines. Even GM's best cars, including its elegant Cadillacs, had banged so loudly under the hood that it sounded to customers as if the engines were breaking apart. The noise was a by-product of the engine's design, which involved a somewhat inefficient combustion process. This meant that the gasoline fuel was never completely burned away; the remnants of gasoline tended to heat, ignite, and explode, sometimes loudly enough to startle a driver into losing control. Tetraethyl lead - or TEL, in industrial shorthand - solved the problem. ..... The additive was made in the "looney gas building," the employee nickname for Standard Oil's TEL processing plant. In the twelve months since the company began making he antiknock ingredient, plant laborers' fear of the place had steadily increased. The men who worked there, in the clanking heat and drifting vapors, had become a little odd - moody, short-tempered, unable to sleep. They'd started getting lost on the familiar plant grounds, sometimes had trouble remembering their friends. And then in September 1924 the workers started collapsing, going into convulsions, babbling deliriously. By the end of October, thirty-two of the forty-nine TEL workers were in the hospital, and five had died. Standard Oil issued a cool response: "These men probably went insane because they worked too hard," according to the building manager. And those who didn't survive had merely worked themselves to death. Other than that, the company didn't see a problem.”

That’s some cold shit right there. Morality of the marketplace. Remember this the next time somebody claims that the market regulates itself. The market didn’t eliminate lead from gasoline. The government did.
Brazil regulations may hit Eletrobras investment
By Leonardo Goy and Anna Flavia RochasBRASILIA/SAO PAULO, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Brazil’s state-run power utility Eletrobras could pare back ambitious investments in Latin America’s largest economy as the renewal of electric concessions threatens to pinch cash flow.Brazil is nearing a decision this year on power industry concessions, with signs pointing to a steep cut in rates for almost all of Eletrobras’s transmission contracts and about 40 percent of its generation contracts.”No one is taking care of this. Cash flow is going to fall off steeply at Eletrobras and the government isn’t giving the issue due attention,” said a lawmaker in the governing coalition, who asked not to be named.The government is aiming to reduce the sale price of power by as much as a third, as many generators have long since paid off their original investments.Electricity rates in Brazil are among the world’s highest, but this is in large part due to heavy taxes that provide a steady source of income for the government — crucial for Brasilia as the government seeks fiscal balance.Eletrobras, the country’s biggest power company, now faces the possibility of lower revenues just months after it pledged to double the pace of investments to keep up with Brazil’s power-hungry economic growth.Major projects include a plan to build the world’s third largest hydroelectric dam, the 11,200-megawatt Belo Monte project due to start producing power in 2015.For those investments to go ahead as planned, the government may have to inject more resources into its state-run utility, according to energy consulting firm PSR. Eletrobras could lose 4.5 billion reais ($2.5 billion) in annual revenue under renewed concessions, PSR said in a recent study, equal to half of this year’s investments.However, a government source told Reuters on condition of anonymity that policymakers are not looking at compensation for Eletrobras. The company declined comment on the issue.”If they lose revenue, then it’s lost. That’s part of it,” the head of Brazil’s electric regulator, Nelson Hubner, told Reuters.Hubner argued that an eventual drop in revenues for Eletrobras will not necessarily slow investments, suggesting financing for projects could be secured against future revenues from new installations.Eletrobras is testing market appetite on a road show this week for a bond issue worth up to $2.5 billion, at a time when most Brazilian companies are backing away from financial markets shaken by Europe’s tussles with debt concerns.
