Deregulation Frank, deregulation... No one has asked specifically for tainted meat but this is what you get when profits are valued higher than anything else... Do you get it now?
There are regulations here. The answer will be to create new regulations that will be ignored as opposed to strongly enforcing the ones on the books.
I find it amazing how many want to blame everyone other than those not enforcing the regulations already on the books.
I hate puppies too. This is typical comment from the left when these topics come up. I'm talking about single light bulb and you try and turn that into letting truckers use bald tires and endangering everyone on the highway. How can anyone have honest discussion when you are going to make ridiculous comments like that.
Thank you. The ridiculous comments that people consider debate is really getting annoying.
Our company decided unilaterally to start double strapping our loads. The DOT cited one of our trucks for a slightly worn area on the secondary strap despite the fact DOT regulations only require one strap. I am betting someone in our company is rethinking that second strap policy.
I can see checking for off road fuel is a truck has been stop for other things......but, they appear to be pulling trucks over just to check.
I sat by the road over an hour.......I had to explain to an officer it was OK if a had a tank of off road......we drill water wells.....we use off road fuel.
He finally checked with his supervisor.
Then he checked ever light and air hose connection......which was useless....there is under 500 miles on the rig.
I was waiting for him to notice we do not run with license plates.
Deregulation is the key phase of the day for your type. Tell me this, do you think the FDA implements too much regulation, not enough, or just enough?
Yeah, but your whole argument is strawman hyperbole.
Conservative: We need less regulation.
Shabazz: Oh so you think we need to take down all street lights and abolish the penal code.
Meanwhile, in the real world....let's hear from some other people....
Quote:
The U.S. government must reduce business regulation to spur job growth, said Jeffrey Immelt, chief executive officer of General Electric Co. (GE) and head of President Barack Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
A further dose of reality over mindless rhetoric....
Quote:
California lawmakers offered Tesla Motors Inc. (TSLA) regulatory changes to accelerate a planned $5 billion battery “gigafactory†as New Jersey legislators filed a measure that would allow the company to resume electric car sales there.
The California bill, proposed yesterday by Senate President Pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg, a Sacramento Democrat, and Senator Ted Gaines, a Republican from Roseville, calls for unspecified “changes to regulatory and environmental processes to expedite groundbreaking†for the plant, according to a statement.
Tesla, based in Palo Alto, California, announced plans for the sprawling battery plant in February to supply lower-cost lithium-ion cells for its cars and packs for home-power storage devices. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk cited the time needed for California’s stringent environmental review as the reason the company didn’t initially consider the state. Musk in May said California was back on the list.

I believe it's the same policy with the lights, if it's on the truck it has to work. Adding extras to improve safety would increase your chances of being fined for it.
I was never on roads where there was lot of them. Whenever I got stopped they would do a quick check of the lights, look at the tires, look at the extinguisher and look at your paperwork. Never had problem becsue I always made sure those things were functional or in good shape, you could do my job with bald tires if you wanted too anyway. Now I see state DOT all over the place and in our state even the local police are getting in on it. A town near me with 5K population has their own van and certified inspector, they are using it for a revenue stream.

Deregulations and the FDA have nothing to do with how China does it's business.
And the FDA does think China regulates and inspects meat.
They have so much trust in China that we're importing chicken from them.

The US and FDA have nothing to do with Chinese businesses slapping new labels on old tainted meat.
And it's the USDA that regulates meat so I don't understand why folks are harping on the FDA.
I saw that China sent their good friends the Japanesse some of that tainted meat. Americans should watch out because we send them chickens and they process the meat in China and send it back. This use to be a job that was heavily done by illegal immigrants, just think we are shipping their jobs away now and still inviting them into the country
You folks that love store bought chicken nuggets or those you get at McDonalds I would give it some thought. Same with Cambell soup, I refuse to buy any of those products I buy my meat raised and processed from the state of Ohio.
According to Obama these new illegals, oops, I mean refugees, are some of the "best and the brightest". Plucking chickens would certainly be beneath these future doctors, lawyers, CEOs, CIOs, CFOs, STEM educated, entrepreneurs that are so needed in the US because Americans are lazy, uneducated, unskilled and don't have the motivation and ambition to strive to do better.
