This is the right wing of the GOP. Wackos. North Carolina has a wacko Senator for the next six years.

See, market pressures take care of everything. Certainly the country knows that, right? So, Tillis is a flyin' genius. The private sector doesn't need government and regulation; they need to be left alone. Did I get that right? The only thing the private sector needs is freedom to completely do what they want. Like, "No Blacks May Enter" or "No Single Women Allowed." Right? So, this time it is handwashing.

Children are going to be asking "What's Soap?" Even the vaccinated ones.

Once we’re done debating (click here) whether children should be vaccinated, we can move on to other pressing public health questions, such as whether eateries can force their employees to wash their hands after they use the bathroom.
At least one freshman U.S. senator thinks, “nah.” Because freedom.
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), at the end of an appearance Monday at the Bipartisan Policy Center, volunteered a story about “his bias when it comes to regulatory reform.”...

Mr. Tillis is a moron. Merrium Webster defines a moron as a very stupid or foolish person.

What Mr. Tillis never bothers to realize is that if one restaurant doesn't require employees to wash their hands, there will be others that don't require their employees to wash their hands. As a matter of fact, McDonald's would save millions of dollars in hand washing soap to add to their profit margin to pay Mr. Tillis a higher stock dividend. 

So, there you have it. The Republicans obsess about government regulation and how it robs Wall Street of profits. They don't care about people. 

I have a better idea. Why not federally mandate all employees everywhere have to supply their hand soap to wash their hands. Not bad, right?

But, is the federal government going to monitor the employer to be sure they are washing their hands and does the federal government allow the employer to fine an employee if they don't wash their hands? Is the employer federally mandated to file the collected fines with the federal government in their taxes or are they actually a tax credit for being good girls and boys?
