I respectfully disagree!
Inspections of the egg producers would have prevented it. More qualified inspectors, and encouragement for smaller, competing egg producers is also desirable.
Giving more power to any Government agency is quite simply another step towards tyranny and Communism. This must be avoided, and in the case of the EPA reversed.
I would dearly like to see the EPA, Energy and Education Departments abolished ASAP!
Gershwin’s law is that bad money drives out good. Given a choice of paying with a dollar in gold, and a dollar in paper, people will keep the gold and pay in paper. The Government coerces people to accept paper rather than gold. (during the Civil War people accepted as little as 1/6th the price of an item if paid in gold, rather than government paper).
In like manner, government regulatory agencies drive out private regulatory functions. Rather than a counter part to Underwriter’s laboratory, the US food and drug regulation agencies do an incompetent job, drive out private parties which would properly supervise the production of food.
