I hate tyrants!
Did basically the same thing to kids clothing and toy makers. There are so many relatively new regulations, tagging requirements, registration, documentation,etc that small home businesses have a hard time keeping up with. It doesn’t just effect people trying to sell handmade items through a business. You cannot gift or donate even one handmade item intended for use by children under 12 without the item meeting all the new regulations. Or you could face a fine of $14,000 per incident.
Her husband exports a bunch of work over seas. Guess he cant stand others getting a higher profit than him.
Hey Di I am buying another assault rifle so I can teach my son how to build it from parts.
Do you know why Venezuela has shortages of basic necessities? Because of government interference with businesses. Shortages will eventually afflict us for the same reason.

Let me guess that Procter & Gamble contributes to both of those Congress members
Of course, HE was joking ...
We already regularly buy trisodium phosphate at the local hardward store because so much of the household soaps we use no longer have a real cleaning or sudsing ability. Unbelievable.
The reason that 17A effectively repealed the whole Constitution, imo, is the following. The Founding States had not only established the federal Senate, but had given the power to vote for federal senators uniquely to state lawmakers. The idea was that senators would protect their states in Congress by killing bills that not only stole 10th Amendment-protected state powers, but also stole state revenues associated with those powers.
However, the safety net for protecting the constitutional republic which the Senate provided was removed when citizens, spooked by the Progressive Movement, successfully twisted the arms of their state lawmakers to ratify 17A, foolishly giving up the voices of state lawmakers in Congress by doing so.
Regarding how the 17th Amendment helps misguided senators like Feinstein get away with making bills which blatantly ignore the federal governments constitutionally limited powers, please consider the following. Regardless what FDRs thug justices had wanted everybody to think about the scope of Congresss Commerce Clause powers when they decided Wickard v. Filburn in Congresss favor in 1942, previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate either intrastate commerce or agriculture. This is evidenced by the following excerpts.
State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]. Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. None to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by Congress for that purpose is forbidden [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
The reason that 17A is a large part of the problem concerning Feinsteins unconstitutional proposal is this imo. When low-information voters go home after voting for their favorite federal senators, they watch football, clueless to the major problem that corrupt senators like Feinstein are working in cahoots with the corrupt House to pass unconstitutional, but vote-winning bills like her proposal to regulate intrastate commerce and agriculture, issues which the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to address as evidenced by the excerpts above.
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear and senators like Feinstein along with it.
When I learned that anti-bacterial soap was initially developed for people with AIDS to use I stopped buying it.
As much as this bill is a bad idea and unnecessary to protect public health it does not include soap makers. Soap (as defined in FDA rules) is exempt from FDA regulations provided no medical or cosmetic claims are made. So this proposed legislation does not crack down on soap makers.
Here is the definition, (think cold process or hot process soap)
“The bulk of the nonvolatile matter in the product consists of an alkali salt of fatty acids and the product’s detergent properties are due to the alkali-fatty acid compounds, and
the product is labeled, sold, and represented solely as soap”
So if you take a solution of lye and water and add it to oils you do not fall under FDA regulations unless you make medical or cosmetic claims.
So sell the handmade item for kids under 12 to an adult parent or guardian as a “collectable” and have that in writing...
how will citizens survive without government bureaucrats and hyper-regulation? Amazing we’re all alive now without our big brother telescreens we can’t turn off.
big companies are paying off politicians to restrict their small competition
Maybe. I was thinking more like govt wants more revenue from these companies any way they can get it.
Doesn’t work that way. If the item reasonably looks like a child would use it then it must meet the regulations.
