Congressional Republicans are challenging several health regulations, with one senator suggesting restaurants shouldn't have to make their employees wash their hands after bathroom visits. Such restaurants would have to prominently disclose their decision, and then would probably would go out of business, said newly elected GOP Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina. But they should have that choice, he said. Tillis raised the issue when speaking Monday to the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington. Restaurant chains such as Starbucks should be able to skip obligatory hand-washing by workers, he said, "as long as they post a sign" and take other steps to alert the public. "Let them decide" such issues, Tillis said, adding: "That's probably one where every business that did that would go out of business. But I think it's good to illustrate the point, that that's the sort of mentality we need to have to reduce the regulatory burden on this country." Tillis defended his point in an interview Tuesday in the Capitol. "Sometimes there are regulations that maybe we want to set a direction, but then let those who are regulated decide whether or not it makes sense," he said. They might pay a huge price, he said, but "they get to make that decision versus government." Tillis' comments came as some Republican presidential hopefuls say parents are justified in sometimes having their children avoid vaccinations generally required for attending school. Vaccinations were not raised at his Monday event. But Tillis said Tuesday, "Vaccinations are important to keeping our kids safe, keeping our schools safe." Tillis, former speaker of the North Carolina House, ousted Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan in November. He played a key role in reducing state taxes and regulations in the state after Republicans took control of the government.

actually u take ur chances eating at any restaurant and especially those not part of a chain.
worked with a husband and wife team and lets say they did not have much discretion. The owner/bossman was aware of their high jinks and his attitude was “They are young” He did not mention they were also inappropriate and extremely unsanitary. and the only thing I ate there were pre packaged crackers. and bar fruit.
so it’s not just the homos you have to be worried about.

I'm guessing you're a chemist or a machinist?
Yup.
But people started washing their hands more.
(I used to think that spelling was a marker for probable homosexuality. But now I suppose it's also a marker for stupidity.)
> I’d say make them take an IQ test but we know they’d rig it for book knowledge that has little, if any, application to real life or common sense
Potential voters should be required to take that I.Q. test and if they don’t score higher than a turnip, they shouldn’t get the vote. There would never again be a democrat elected to office.
I like that idea but I’m afraid O would cry foul because he’d say that it’s not FAIR that they take the test because many of them have been denied better education ecause of white privilege when we know that’s complete BS
Congressional Republicans are challenging several health regulations ... Tillis raised the issue when speaking Monday to the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington.
It looks like he was using the regulation as an example at a talk.
It may be unfair to think that he is just an idiot.
Charles Francis Adams, John's grandson, was the first to propose this.
I have actually seen this as a bathroom soap at a friend’s house. I almost died laughing.
“I would NOT shake hands with such an employee!!!”
That’s exactly the point. You would not want to spend your mney to eat at such a place. Self regulation at work.
Wouldn't work. The rutabagas would vote enough times to compensate for the missing turnips.
Love your screen name.
>> if one were to wash his hands in “interstate commerce” <<
By golly, you’ve identified the problem! Dirty hands clearly impose a burden on interstate commerce. Matter settled.
The point he makes is not stupid at all. It involves self regulation. Did you read the article?
This is our new Republican Senator here in NC, so Shut Up. We don’t miss Kay Hagen.
Seinfeld saw his favorite cook leave the RR without washing and wouldn't eat the meal when served but couldn't say why.
He should have just shut the ............ Up!
Yeah, it’s kinda’ like the rule that doctors don’t have to scrub their hands before operating on their patients, as long as they inform them that their hands are dirty. With all the BS we get from government these days, laws requiring hygiene standards in the food service industry don’t rate on the quibble meter.
I hope he enjoys his Ecoli Burger.
With all that’s going on in the world reversing a common sense regulation is all this guy has to do?
“Interstate Commerce”, the blank check. Is there nothing it cannot do?
