A more competent government entity would have phased in the 30 day rule to avoid the massive disruption to supply.
With sufficient notice, the customers could have increased their stocks a bit.
The manufacturer could have increased it’s production to ride through the new requirement.
But no... They have to implement the 30 day rule all at once causing a market shortage and a fake bust/boom cycle.
Idiots. They be idiots.
Were there even any ‘incidents’ to back up this government demand?
With a hat tip to RAH, "In a mature society, civil servant is semantically equal to civil master." Note that there is no requirement in any government job description for 'common sense' ( a commodity generally lacking in your average government regulator!)
Subway was offering sandwiches with this stuff, what do they do now?
The article sure wasn't written very well, was it? What good would it do to delay shipment? If the health dept was concerned about some health issue, how could waiting a month solve the issue? Makes no sense.
