There was a series of stories (surprisingly in the local Gannett generipaper) about a fellow who worked in a bakery who quit to start his own donut bakery.
He rented a building and the first thing that happened was a visit from inspectors who decreed he had to make the place handicap accessible (+$15,000) even though his three employees weren’t handicapped and there was no retail trade at this location.
Those are the kind of things that doom manufacturing vs. competitive countries.
Precisely. The very things that leftists point at the GOP over and call “unfunded mandates” ironically.
The left has been hollowing out the manufacturing base of the USA for decades. They know it’s one of the ways to bring the country down. All about international socialism and making the USA too weak both morally and financially to resist it. Problem is, the backlash will come in the nuclear age . . .
