Seriously.

Seriously.

This is some insane bullshit.

Wash your damn hands after you go to the bathroom.

[treestar]

1. I recall debating with a right winger

about the unregulated environment he advocated, and wondering whether he would eat in restaurants. He answers he would do his own inspection at every restaurant! Imagine going out to eat but first examining the kitchens, etc. And with only your own expertise.

[drm604]

3. Ask him if he thinks that a restaurant could function if every patron demanded an inspection tour.

Would he insist on a seat near the bathroom and follow every employee that went in, both men and women, to make sure that they washed their hands?

That type of Libertarian society would be completely nonfunctional.

[treestar]

8. Yep

Whatever answer they come up with is something they do not think through as to what life would really be like.

[phantom power]

12. sure they would....

And they'd personally inspect every farm and factory that made their food.
And they'd personally inspect every factory that made every single thing they buy, for safety.
And they'd personally inspect every bridge, every road....

Because they're all Galtian uber-menschen...

[Odin2005]

21. Libertarians are delusional ideologues.

Dangerously delusional.

[Nay]

23. Inspecting every restaurant himself -- what an idiot. Does he think he's gonna

SEE the fecal germs on all the countertops? The E. coli in the uninspected meats and veggies? The TB bacilli from the worker who has hacked and coughed through a whole shift?

God, these people are stupid.

[lonestarnot]

2. Nasty bastard.

4. I steerheaded what I call the clean hand glove law in ID

It took 10 years to come to be law because of the Republican's and the corporations in ID who did not want to go to the trouble of making sure their employees washed their hands after going to the bathroom and had a sink in the food area where they washed their hands before handing food. I saw terrible improper handling of food when I first started my quest. Sneezing right on food while preparing it, handling money then putting their hands on food, sick with temps and handling food, large amount of the public coming down with disease because of it. It was disgusting.

5. I hope somebody...

...pees in his coffee next time he is there. Urine is sterile when it first leaves the body, so hey, no problem, right?

Jesus H. Christ on toast.

[Orangepeel]

6. They can opt out of the policy if they post a sign that says they opt out?

Besides being 10 different other ways of stupid, are the big government regulators now going to ensure that every restaurant that opts out has a properly posted sign?

[drm604]

15. Right. All it does is to make the regulation even more complicated.

Currently you have to require employees to wash their hands. With Tillis' plan you have a regulation that says that you have to either require employees to wash their hands or you have to post a sign saying that you don't, and you have to have rules about the visibility of the sign, minimum type size, etc., and you'll need inspectors to assure that they're posting it correctly (or requiring hand washing).

Of course NO ONE would opt to use the sign instead so legislative time spent on changing the law would be a waste of taxpayer's money.

[meow2u3]

7. Let'em pass that law

If I were a waitress, I'd sneak some shit in his dinner and there won't a goddamn thing he'll be able to do about it!

[IDemo]

9. The Invisible Hand is filthy enough already n/t

[hatrack]

10. Would the Starbucks be REQUIRED to post a sign saying "We don't wash our hands here"?

I can hear the jackboots of regulation stomping the sidewalk - can you?

Fucking RIDICULOUS.

[tk2kewl]

11. I hope they run with that one. Great idea!

[sorefeet]

13. I would do my own inspection too

I would walk straight to the bathroom and if I didn't see the "wash your hands" sign. I leave. Some people NEED to be reminded usually because of their upbringing. It's an educational tool.

[ghostsinthemachine]

14. If you are unemployed does that mean

You don't have to wash your hands after going to the bathroom?

[Human101948]

27. No and many people do not...

but I think you know that.

Hint: Do no touch door handle on way out.

[librechik]

16. they should call it the Chipotle Memorial Eat **** Law n/t

[Lars39]

17. He needs the trots for a solid year.

[geomon666]

18. Coprophagic Psychopathic would be an awesome band name.

Seriously.

[Egnever]

19. They can't think past the money

In this example he might be correct and the market indeed would take care of it in the end if a business decided to opt out of handwashing.

But it wouldn't happen immediately and there would certainly be many that got sick or died before the market took care of that business. Hell there are businesses that bleed money for years before ultimately going belly up. The people that would be harmed in the meantime don't count in the GOP

Flint is a perfect example of money meaning more than people to the GOP. Eventually the market (voters) will correct the complete fuckup they currently have for governor but it will be long after a whole lot of damage is already done.

[snagglepuss]

20. Gawd why bother reading the Onion. Effing hysterical level of ignorance.

[Recursion]

22. Seriously. On Facebook three friends said "this is the Onion or Borowitz, right?"

Nope.

Sigh.

[Paladin]

24. Nice photo of that fuckwit senator.

Displaying the hand he probably uses to wipe his ass.

[spanone]

25. they are all fucking insane. certifiably.

[prayin4rain]

26. So, regulate that they have to post signs indicating whether they are hand washing

establishment, but do not just regulate that they must wash their hands. Brilliant.

[KentuckyWoman]

28. This is NOT about hand washing.

This is about legal responsibility and lawsuits. Corporate America doesn't want to be responsible if they hire some disgusting slob who doesn't wash up and then touches your food. They want to be able to force you to pay for the food and if you get sick, stop you from suing them for damages.

FOLLOW THE MONEY.

[Initech]

29. Seriously it's time to burn all Ayn Rand material.

This is taking Ayn Rand's anti government regulation bullshit to new extremes. No we don't want to eat shit when we go to restaurants.
