Doesn’t get much dumber than this. How in the world did any of us survive to adulthood? And these people want to take over our health care.

Try being in our business selling products for kids/schools. These same regs hit us hard with anything that might be hazardous requiring testing and disclosure in print/web etc.

New regulations are also killing home based clothing sellers. They have to license and prove they are following government safety standards.

Here is one example:

we now have federal inspectors threatening to start investigating yard sales and church bazaars. They say they’re just going to focus on thrift stores and Craigslist … for now:

ROTFLMAO

The thrift shops need to file class action suits on this. Unless they’re shipping across state lines, it’s none of the Federales business.

Way too many laws...How about a requirement that everytime these asses pass a new law requiring some kind of standard, anyone will be allowed to ignore the standard by having a notice on the item that says it does not comply with that law. Then the consumer can decide, and little people and businesses can continue to sell.

If the GOP had it in them, they’d be all over this. Of course, it wouldn’t surprise me if a majority of the GOP in the Congress voted for the law.

This is a perfect issue to highlight the stupidity of the nanny state which we have now in DC. Feds regulating yard sales and church stores...is this the America you want? Also, how does this affect eBay?

Is there anything at all this administration isn’t tightening control of??

Seems like they are trying to strangle the economy.

I was in Goodwill this morning and they were looking through the children’s clothing and removing anything with metal buttons, snaps, zippers, etc. Why? Because they MIGHT have traces of lead in them. This means you can’t buy jeans, winter coats, back packs, etc. There were very few sweaters left.
There will be some kids freezing their butts off this winter, I expect...

Wow, they must have made a really really big agreement with China. First we get rid of all the used cars, then the used clothing, appliances, etc...

You are forced to buy NEW!! New I tell you.
