Trump tells business leaders he wants to cut regulations by 75% or 'maybe more'

a reply to: ketsuko

From that point of view, it sounds like his job is filling out forms and his hobby is helping animals.

I don't believe in government regulation.

People want their work expedited with oversight.

I think that actually slows work down and it certainly doesn't prevent evil people from finding loopholes in order to cause damage.

In fact, much oversight slows down the honest and provides cover for the manipulators.

His company I don't worry about. They've always been about meeting the standard and then some to produce a quality product and they are still family owned, not publically traded - no shareholders. So they can afford those indiosyncracies.

Cool.

Here is the video of the meeting...


Good job by Trump here! He's sounding much more presidential by the day.

So, will this help boost small business which has just about totally dried up? Will this boost business within the US or just increase our influx of Chinese etc. business within the US?

Will interest rates start to skyrocket for the banks to party again, happy happy joy joy?

Or, is this just a bigger boost for the fat cat biggies?

Alot left unsaid and as yet to be explained.

No more hyperbole, Trump.

Yay, now shoot for 100% and we'll be on the right road.

Do you like eating beef with human body parts in it?

Do you like eating things that claim there is nothing wrong, yet there is?

You think they're not lying to you? Reality check. Want safe food, do your research.

Or be like me and just eat, knowing food isn't an anti-death treatment.

I happen to like eating food and not worrying about getting the #s afterwards because it wasn't kept in safe locations or went bad or any other number of reasons.

Reality check, regulations aren't all that bad.

Well, the server question is a local enforcement issue, not a federal regulation one, so...

The other question is too ridiculous to warrant a response.

You've clearly never read the Jungle by Upton Sinclair.

Advertising doesn't just tell you what you need; it also lists the contents of the product or what it does. How are you supposed to research a product you want to buy if the seller isn't required to be truthful about his product?

The regulations he's talking about is your employment rights you fools. Holiday pay, overtime, time and a half, double time, bereavement and Maternity leave etc etc. before the years out he'll have you doing star jumps before your shift starts and singing My Way in public...wake up, Chairman Trump is gonna get you.

The problem with regulations is that:

1) Congress has given the authority to make rules/regulations to non-elected bureaucracies who have little to no oversight. The agencies often take on a social justice approach to regulations.

and

2) Rarely do regulations get repealed or reevaluated for effectiveness.

3) Existing regulations need enforcement. Often times the bureaucracies don't enforce regulations as they currently exist. You generally don't need to increase new regulations but enforce the ones currently on the books.

Advertising is not simply informative.

You know better than that, surely.

Advertising literally means "that which turns toward". That's not informing alone, but informing with the intent to instill prejudice.

Yes, I know, so many people rely on it.

I think it's a sign of unintelligence to allow one's self to buy a burger because they see it on TV.

ESPECIALLY when one can justify it just because it's organic Angus.

"Well, I wasn't going to, but that guy Angus must know his meat, surely..."

The only meat Angus knows is the one waiting for you to bend over to find some change.

Maybe yours. Not mine. I was smart enough to get out of the prison of employment. I charge what I want and I get it because I prove the value of my services.

Much simpler than answering to people who think and work slower than me.

I eat whatever I want and I'm smart, fast, and strong. Anxiety over food causes lapses in judgment and desire for oversight means you're too lazy or evil to do the necessary work yourself.

Personal responsibilty - a phrase often touted by the very people who stand in your way.

The fact that you are pitching "personal responsibility" while promoting stripping the means of reliably getting information about a product to practice this personal responsibility from consumers is bizarre. It's like your rhetoric and logic don't align.

I guess in your world, "personal responsibility" means we all get food poisoning and nearly die so we learn not to eat at a particular restaurant.

In a free market with competition, businesses cater to the needs of their customers without the force of government. Let me give you some well known examples...

Whole Foods. Did government regulations create Whole Foods or the organic movement? No. Customers declared they wanted more natural foods and businesses stepped up to provide it.

Volvo. While other car makers were advertising horsepower, Volvo was advertising safety and it became a huge part of their brand equity. Again, government regulations didn't force these automakers to put airbags in cars, ABS, side impact protection, etc.

Restaurants that are dirty or cause people to get sick will go out of business. Government didn't create Yelp or customer reviews.

You can't regulate away stupidity. It is like the saying, your can make whatever idiot proof but mother nature will build a better idiot.

People are a lot more rational and informed than you liberals give them credit for.

a reply to: TarzanBeta

Actually marketing and advertising is a bit more than that I actually have a degree in it and can apply my knowledge understand the societal manipulation going on for example study Maslows of needs and that will give you major insights as to how the peons are managed,as for genuine angus beef patties more like geniune anus beef pattys even here in Australia where we have a lot of angus an angus steak is about 30 bucks US plus.

All the regulations in the world isn't going to force a nasty Mofo to wash his hands...

There is no product that is changing like electronic technology.

If you can't tell that your food is worth eating, then you must be a paranoid king or a spoiled prince who has never required to check their own food.

It's not meant to be offensive, but you got me wondering if you haven't tempered your philosophical mind with personal experience.

If it's still tasty, no.

If it makes me ill, I'm free to sue. If it kills me, my family can sue.

There's 7 billion+ people on the planet, me dying isn't going to have any real impact on the fate of humanity, but might serve an admirable purpose in having the business owner penalised for poor hygiene.

Just enough regulations to ensure a clean environment and safety for employees.
