The regulations get put in place to curb the unethical behavior of businesses, including safe workplaces.
Not even remotely true. Regulations get put in place to control people, with a nod to anything that makes them appear credible. I mean heck you can look at the COVID mess and see that it's been completely arbitrarily implemented. The science on transmission was largely unproven guess work (remember how you guys railed about the unproven use of Hydroxychlorquine, yet had no problem with destroying the economy with restrictions that have even less science behind them, ah good times), and that means the restrictions were almost completely guesswork. I mean we still have regulations that effectively shut down small businesses and concentrated everyone in large stores, yet the evidence is that big box stores are a transmission vector and small businesses not so much.
We have regulations that limit 10k seat arenas to less than 100 people, yet that permit favored political rallies to gather. We actually had to have a court order the police to stop recording the license plates of socially distanced cars in a church parking lot attending services.
But its not just COVID, without fail, bureaucrats expand and expand their regulatory mandates to cover things that they find politically important without any regard to whether they have a safety element.
And its a flat lie that most regulations are controlling unethical business behaviors. Most are nanny state over governance of good people who want to do the right things created by people with less situational knowledge that the people they regulate. And that's before you even lead the factory context and start in on the regulations that exist in other walks of life.
I guess we just let the free market run wild, and we can go back to the good old days where miners got buried alive and kids lost their hands in machinery. Or perhaps allow the selling of snake oil as medicine, or deliberately misleading account holders.
Think that is over the top?
It's just logical fallacy to assume that it's all or nothing. Nothing requires that we make it legal to bury miners - why would that be an advantage economically, are you burying them when their shift is over - or to use kids hands in machines - as what some weird form of lubrication? - or to allow the selling of snake oil - though we do have people in the neighborhood that sell liquid collagen to drink and several whole stores premised on selling "not FDA approved" natural supplements.
Go to google and type in "regulations governing" followed by anything at all, you'll get something that comes up. Sometimes it'll be short and to the point, other times it will be beyond detailed and specific to the point of absurdity, but something will almost always come up. Just for fun, I looked for "clothes for miners" and discovered their helmets must have a non-metallic base paint; "naming of bicycles" where I discovered the EPA does have naming conventions and that we have a 20 part code of for the regulation of bicycles
https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title16/16cfr1512_main_02.tpl bizarrely housed in the hazardous substance regulations passed by the consumer product safety commission; so I decided to check on "bird watching" and I thought aha... here there are only ethical codes... but no, dig a little deeper and there are dozens of laws that impact the hobby of bird watching, like it being illegal to keep a bald eagle feather you find on the ground or to make bird calls in certain locations, and if you find an injured bird and try to help it you may be violating the law requiring that such efforts be made by licensed professionals.
I don't care how well meaning you think regulators are, where there are rules that "govern" every single activity in which you can engage (and I didn't dare to look at whether there are "in the bedroom" regulations, which I hope is not the case), it's just a trap for selective prosecution. No one is actually able, or even bothers, to read the regulations that apply to every activity they engage in.
Global climate change is going to cost lives, Trump dumped every regulation designed to mitigate that disaster.
Demonstrable false. In fact, it's beyond a lie to make that claim. It's beyond even hyperbole.
Wiping out sustainable fishing regulations, encouraging unbridled exploitation of nature preserves, promoting affordable housing.
Maybe you can point to the parts of this order that you disagree with. It literally contradicts your claim about "wiping out sustainable fishing regulations" by in fact requiring them and that they be consistent with our environmental laws and UN policies.

sustainable fishing?
Did you do any research on any of this stuff is it all just repeating what you "heard" Trump did?
Removal of a rule that farmers should be able to sue meatpackers for anti-competitive behaviour.
Farmers are still able to sue, there's a hundred year old act that governs that relationship. The Obama era rule (among lots of other things) was trying to change the standard that applied under the rule. Meanwhile, here's anti-Trump article that walks through how Trump's administration is actually bringing serious investigations into the industry and it's fairness, literally the title says it all.
https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/u-s-meat-giants-face-biggest-attack-in-century-from-trump-probe-1.1450567Is it even worth looking into anything else you claim? I can read Politico for myself, and if you can't see the bias in the articles you're looking at you're not analyzing them at a level that engenders trust in your conclusions.
Do all of those things "help the economy get bigger", well sure. That doesn't mean it is such a hot idea.
Everything I looked at that you cited was pretty not only a "hot idea" that was helping the economy get bigger but actually addressing the problems you claimed they were adding to. Pretty a total fail.
Trump killed a lot of regulations that claimed to be doing something good but weren't. Its the very principle behind the old maxim, actions speak louder than words.
