You left out the kicker:

> OSHA inspected this incident and fined the contractors.

How is that a kicker?

If you hire someone to do work at your place of business (or home), and they fail to take the necessary precautions, why would you be held responsible?

The parent's remark suggests Tesla management was responsible and at fault; OSHA's disposition begged to differ, and that part was conveniently omitted from context.

Oh, I had understood “kicker” to mean something that further supported the paulryanroger’s comment.

You kicked the can so far down the road I can't even see it anymore!
