Hence USDA &c
The feds do in fact regulate food, e.g. via USDA inspections. And a good thing too. Otherwise big companies like Tyson could continue poisoning its customers with impunity in their quest for profit at any cost to the rest of us. Yes, much of our power and water infrastructure is privately owned. The question is: has the public been well served by that? Tillis and those who oppose competition are betraying their constituents in service to their real masters -- commercial forces that think totalitarian China is a capitalist paradise. Sometimes I wonder, who really won the Cold War? Certainly not freedom and democracy (because monopolists cannot stand either free markets it consumer choice).
