What if someone becomes sick from a lemonade stand?

What if someone suffers from an infected cut with a razor by an untrained barber who is not practicing mandated hygiene laws?

You seem to think these laws are written in a vacuum by politicians and bureaucrats with the sheer intent to create hardship. They're written and enforced because of adverse incidences. Health and safety laws are there for a purpose.

If you get sick from a lemonade stand you treat them like any other business. If know a barber is not practicing hygene laws, you take your business else where. It isn't that hard of a concept.

I can't help but believe you're being intentionally obtuse. If standards aren't upheld, you can rest assured that far fewer people will engage in good practices. Especially if the consequences are only losing a customer or two.

I'm curious, do these laissez-faire standards also apply to restaurants, medicine and airlines as well?
