Most of the regulations in question are not safety. More stuff like not being able to fire people.

I think ideally they try to make the labor market fairer as it’s so obviously extremely leveraged in favor of employers.

Which does matter, because if it sucks to be labor then people leave and you don’t have talent. We see this pretty clearly in the US. We have a lot of states where companies can pretty much do whatever they want with their labor.

And… well… how are those states doing economically? Not good. The big companies are in California and New York State. Inside those “laissez-faire” states the economy is weak, and in the few places it isn’t, it’s where the city itself leans a certain way.
