News Flash:
Americans now have the sickest children in the world. I doubt that was the case before “federal agencies were keeping us healthier”.

Gut them all and start over. Keep the pharmaceutical industry far away. Ban the poisons from the food supply.[/quote]

Really? With all the regulations you've been pushing over the decades?  How could that possibly be?

Grok says the federal register has 107K pages in 2024 and had 96K pages in 2016.  All those rules, policies, guidelines, regulations, studies, processes and procedures and we still have the sickest children?

How could that possibly be??[/quote]

How can it be?  
Are you naive or ignorant?

Do you not understand how regulation happens?

Do you think American industry stands still and isn't constantly coming up with new pesticides and food additives and packaging and other things that mess with our food supply?  NO.  They don't.  Industry keeps coming up with new things, some of which harm people.  And when the government figures out it's harmful they are on the hook to respond with regulations.[/quote]

Some regulations come into play which only large players can afford.  The smaller players are run out of business or absorbed for pennies on the dollar by the larger players, or they move overseas.

That reduces competition in that field. Those who are left adjust prices upward because they now have more leverage thru reduced competition.  That hurts the consumer.

You wonder why all the "mom and pop" stores and manufacturers have gone out of business and we're left with mostly big box players. In many cases, mountains of regulation did it.[/quote]
