Aren’t you proud? I know I am. Worth every penny of my tax money, these myriad federal regulators and their multiplying rules.
By Gad, the soap companies shall not advertise their soap as anti-bacterial unless they can prove it is safe and works better than ordinary soap at killing bacteria. Eventually.
From the NYTimes usual government-is-good narrative: “The proposed rule does not require producers of the soaps to take them off the market immediately. The F.D.A. has given companies a year to produce data showing that the chemicals are both safe and effective.”
So they’re bad enough to have to prove their safety but not bad enough to take them off the market right away? Sounds like an invitation for bribes. And if you like your anti-bacterial soap—as Mrs. Charm apparently does since she buys so much of it—you can keep it for at least another year. Unless the evil soapers fail to make the FDA happy. In one way or another.
And all you people working on the anti-bacterial soap line? Well, you could go on welfare. Millions have. The Food Stamp President is waiting to enroll you. Just don’t try to do it on a computer.
