Just thought I'd put Tillis' message into the context that the Senator spoke it.

“As a matter of fact I think this is one where I think I can illustrate the point,” he recalled telling her. “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. The market will take care of that. It’s one example.”

Tillis, who told the story with his right hand raised for emphasis, concluded that in his example most businesses who posted signs telling customers their food workers didn’t have to wash their hands would likely go out of business. Ah, the free market!

That infamous "Bubble of Liberalism" statement comes to mind:

"I couldn't believe Nixon had won—I don't know anyone who voted for him."

You forgot the important part of that paragraph....

“As a matter of fact I think this is one where I think I can illustrate the point,” he recalled telling her. “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. The market will take care of that. It’s one example.” (Is requiring a sign not a regulation?)

It seems he just wants to be contrary, like most conservatives....

Of course it's a regulation! Tillis suggests replacing a sanitary regulation with a business killing regulation that restaurants post signs informing customers that employees are not required to wash their hands after using the restroom! Is this the new Republican agenda for free market solutions??? Rolling Eyes
