Quote:Talk about misconstruding an argument, he was making the argument that we over regulate simple matters. He said if companies don't require their employee's to wash their hands the free market would simply run them out of buisness. Imagine a sign in Starbucks, "We don't require employee's to wash hands" would you still eat there? I wouldn't! And don't tell me there wouldn't be a sign without regulation, the threat of a civil suit is why companies would display a sign. The reality is it's a no brainier of course restaurants are going to require employee's to wash their hands, regulating they put up a sign is a waste of resources.

 

His own comments say “I don’t have any problem with Starbucks if they choose to opt out of this policy as long as they post a sign that says we don’t require our employees to wash their hands after leaving the restroom".
 
So all he is proposing is trading a requirement that employees wash their hands for a requirement the employer posts a sign.
