The incoherent doorknob that this meme is apparently quoting probably means cutting the hair of strangers in exchange for money. But adding those details would take away from the OUTRAGE.

Amen to that.....oops sorry, 'so be it' to that.....no...'you got that right',,,,yay. You are correct in your reasoning these regulations and laws are there for "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness", the tenets of our founding fathers.

Things are different , but also still the same . Pesticides sprayed on our foods are affecting our health . They are spraying , Round Up , on grains before mowing the grains , because the cutting blades last longer , if the grain is killed before it is cut . BHT is added to flours to reduce the time it takes for the flour to bleach , by one day . Our drinking water is routinely being contaminated , due to poor mining and chemical processes . Sometimes , if given the chance , Mother Nature , can help to clean our atmosphere , but big corporations , who are willing to add money to someone's pocket , are taking the very resources that could help to restore the natural balance of our atmosphere .

...and you think the answer is total deregulation & letting the free market fix itself? Oh the folly of the American Libertarian.
Lets see how that works out in Utah in a few years when all the government protected land Trump just recently deregulated is raped & destroyed for profit. God Bless American Freedom!

@NotConvinced so you think that less regulations would help? Hey there already poisoning us why not let them do it legally and with more chemicals and worse conditions that makes sense just like the answer to getting less people shot is more guns or hey the cure to cancer should be more cancer

I agree, im somewhat of a misanthrope. If people were allowed complete Freedom there would be nothing but a huge mess. If given the choice between what is right and what is self-serving, the human animal will always choose the latter. corrupt Rich governments/ corporations who get away with murder, particularly in unregulated times, or massive numbers of selfish human Pricks Either way we're fucked -pick your poison

@Cast1es
Sadly Mother Nature doesn't give a shit, if the planets most intelligence stewards don't take responsibility & start making better choices the planet is doomed.

They tend to overlook those parts. Setting up a lemonade stand carries more weight than hanging another human being. Everyone has their priorities.

Also: sell snake oil, run patently unsafe workplaces, ignore sanitation, have inaccessible public places... yeah, those sure were the halcyon days. ?
