    Also the DoL is perpetually under-resourced and short staffed. They aren’t one of the “good” law enforcement agencies that get bipartisan support – only the ones who beat up protestors get that kind of universal appeal, somehow. Even though funding to places like the IRS and DoL have insanely good return on investment.

      We are a nation of temporally poor billionaires, why would we support funding of agencies that would engage in the pinata economics upon our fellow wealthy owners?

      As designed. They don’t really want these laws to be enforced, so you create the department but starve it of resources so it can’t do its job effectively.
