Thank God for regulators! How dangerous would life be otherwise. How could we live without them?

Look at 19th Century deaths in places like coal mines, deaths due to poisonous medicines, asbestos, lack of sewage.

Public health has had more effect than anyother medical change.

Constructing sewage, the evolving history of work, and regulating hearing aids have very little in common, and apart from the last very little to do with regulators.
Yes they do look at some history.
