Right-wing deregulation

Right-wing politicians demand deregulation of many industrial activities, including contruction, to "eliminate red tape." However, the regulations were adopted to save the people's lives, and deregulation often leads to deadly accidents. Building codes in the UK, and especially in London, are an excellent, terrible example.

The end result is that deregulation benefits businesses (that do or invest in the activities that have been deregulated), while the harm tends to fall on poor people, such as the residents of danger-prone buildings, the inhabitants of "cancer alley", and the drivers that work for Uber.
