reminder that there was a time when they were literally selling radium soft drinks in the USA that were so toxic that the biggest fan of the brand had to be buried in a lead coffin because of how much radiation poisoning he got from them and this death led to the FDA regulations that exist now

Conservatives think there's a building full of government workers coming up with new ways to burden businesses, and it's really a building full of people who drink heavily because all the vile things they discover business people doing in the name of profit. (Also the writing staff of Leverage.)

Dear god... that was the time that Snake Oil salesmen went to such extremes with dangerous products... radium was one of dozens of radioactive materials all of which were put into food, drink, and cosmetics, which resulted in mass-scale death. These scams went on for about 3 decades! Millions died.

This is what happens when we let unelected bureaucrats legislate from a rule book. Thanks to the Roberts court, we’ll soon be back to an America where God-fearing citizens will be allowed to glow in the dark as much as they want to.
