well yeah because one is a party that's basically controlled by right-wing nutjobs that deny basic science, scream whenever there's any form of government regulation, is anti-women, anti-gay, anti-minority, basically anti-everyone that isn't a white god-fearing heterosexual man.

the democrats on the other hand, are just spineless cowards who don't call out the republican party on their shit
 
i won't be surprised if he was an anti-vaxer too or thinks that vaccinations should be optional
 
lol. instead of saying "lol republicans are dumb" and adding no value to the conversation, im going to point out that he doesnt want people to have to follow the regulation for washing hands, which prevents the spread of diseases and gross shit. but he DOES want to add a regulation that would require businesses to advertise and put up signs that said that said business did not require employees to wash their hands.

now which sounds more expensive on the free market? requiring businesses to buy soap for employees to wash their hands and increasing the minimal cost of the faucet running, or requiring businesses to add in a 5 or 10 second disclaimer at the end of their commercials and in advertising material stating they did not require their employees to wash their hands. The signage is the same either way, you just change the sign in the bathroom from all employees must wash hands to all employees dont have to wash hands.

and if you didnt impose his make believe flippant answer regulation he tossed out when people explained to him how stupid he sounded (which by the way makes no sense and would cost businesses more than the current regulation which costs them nothing), then how exactly would the free market enforce hand washing if businesses werent required to put up signs or tell anyone their employees dont wash hands. the correct answer is they wouldnt. they already dont report things they arnt required by law that would harm their business, so why would they report that their employees dont wash their hands if they didnt have to?

what does he expect? investigative reporters to go into kitchens and be all liek "oh Mason didnt wash his hands while getting that doritos locos taco from the back, you should stop shopping here." because that doesnt happen. how else would the public find out if there werent regulations?

(yes i know the handwashing isnt the point, its just his shit metaphor for what he wants to do with even more dangerous business practices and the regulations that protect us from them.) just dumb in general.
 
I'm pretty sure he's saying also this give people a "choice" on what they want or not want to do. It's like next to impossible to actually enforce the so-called requirement to wash your hands anyway.

Honestly, a better way to save money and stuff is to use low-flow faucets, auto-soap dispensers (so people don't abuse it), and replace paper towels with air driers. Washing your hands has also proven to actually prevent diseases from spreading. If we don't do that, we'll probably end up spending more on healthcare than saving money on water and soap and stuff.
 
oh yeah, i agree with this guy


but only if you're working in a factory of POO

i mean SERIOUSLY?! What if that employee got piss on his hands and then served a family dinner? "oh let's just overlook this disgusting violation of humanity and serve this family a piss soaked trifle"

fukkin moron senator
 
Politicians say stupid things all the time (regardless of party), so I'm not overly surprised by this.

Anyway, I usually lean to the right on political issues, but as a person who has OCD, I hate this idea.
