I am a the owner of small manufacturing company. I do not have a staff to keep me out of trouble with all the government levels and agencies. I have to do it all myself and it is overwhelming to know everything about everything government. Each seperate issue they probe is potentially life threatening and many nearly impossible to resolve once they get hold of you. Almost always it is expensive in one way or another. I could list many that I have encountered that would absolutely shock most as unfair or unreasonable but I have no choice except to resolve it to their satisfaction or die. They simply do not care, it is the law, regulation, or their opinion that matters. I can see why if I could afford to move to Mexico without workers comp, OSHA, Labor laws, excessive isurances for every possibility, taxes, permits, inspections, accountants and record keeping I could be a lot more profitable. I have had products start small and over time developed into large business. At some point when it is large enough, they were lost to overseas competition on price that I can’t match so my customer could make a better margin and we start all over again.
