And how many states are controlled by advocates of “pro-growth” (translation “unburdening the JCs”) policies?
Specific examples: Michigan used to have the strongest regulation of hot dogs in the country: 100% skeletonal meat only, no ground up lungs, spleens, or snouts. In the 70s, the meat packers whined about what a “burden” it was to produce hot dogs that were actually all meat. The reg was repealed.
Specific example: Michigan had a law that retailers had to mark the price on every item on the shelf, so, when the purchaser got home, they could compare the marked price with the price they were charged. “Too much of a burden” whined the “JCs”, so that reg was repealed too.
