? hence why the tweet is dumb.
but you understand that in a free market, the consumer has complete power over the individual business? Like you can choose what you want to buy? And if your product is crappy, eventually the market will realize that and eliminate the company. i think this is especially true in food market.
If you get sick eating somewhere, you probably wont go back there, or buy that thing again. And that message of it being a bad product can be spread very fast by social media. (lettuce recalls, chipotle, etc etc) Do you understand this concept? Im pretty sure consumer companies understand this and would take steps to satisfy consumers needs as best they could (ie provide employees with proper training whatever that may be)
I didn't say regulation was bad, but the tweet and repost of it was made to seem like this deregulation was a bad thing. And i just thought that it was a dumb tweet/post. Consumer market works almost as a sort of regulation in this case.
You are the one who made an assumption that untrained workers would be making inspections. and for the record no i didn't look into this story at all. I can just recognize fake news and poor tweets when i see them.
I agree the post was stupid and posted by a brainless user, that doesn’t warrant a similarly thoughtless reply.
Your statement that that maybe some special knowledge was required to understand whether this specific industry might be fine to regulate itself or not was what I took issue with.
Corruption and shortcuts are going to happen when any entity oversees itself. That’s human nature.
I didn’t assume untrained workers would be doing the inspections , that’s how the test projects are working. Training for the employees responsible for inspecting is at the plants discretion.
Also this is not like a restaurant that if they serve bad food people will not eat there. 40 or so slaughter plants output 90% of the pork in the US.
