Which regulations actually do this?
More automated industries allow employees to seek employment in higher-skilled areas such as engineering, maintenance, etc.
It only takes a couple of engineers to design a plant and there is only about one maintenance worker for every 20 - 30 production workers. How does that replace the workforce?
Frankly, if your job is to pick up a nut and put it onto a bolt, you are a drag on our economy.
Nice sentiment to your fellow Americans.
By pushing for higher technology in industry, we will reduce worksite injuries, worker's compensations insurance rates, and allow for a workforce that can seek higher meaning in their lives than menial labor tasks.
All of this does nothing to help people find jobs. Have you been watching Star Trek looking forward to their utopian society where we are all one nation on this planet? Human nature is always such that there are people who cannot be engineers and doctors and lawyers and such. What will competent, yet less intelligent people do for a living? Are you willing to provied them a job?
OSHA, EPA, etc (not all regs, but many are nonsense)
It only takes a couple of engineers to design a plant and there is only about one maintenance worker for every 20 - 30 production workers. How does that replace the workforce?
It takes more and better engineers to design the automated equipment. It takes better maintenance workers to maintain the equipment. It takes service jobs to support the engineers and maintenance workers. Do you understand how a cascading economy works?

I think my fellow American can achieve more than putting a nut onto a bolt. I want my fellow American to perform tasks that are not the equivalent of a screw-machine.
