Merely an hypothetical for your consideration.
It should shock Americans to hear how little regulation there is over the production and sale of cosmetic products. That the entire burden of proof is on the federal government to prove that certain products are harmful is unacceptable: we need safeguards put in place that require manufacturers to test the safety of their products before they reach the shelves, so consumers and salon workers are not subject to poisonous chemicals. At the very least, the labeling of these products should inform consumers about the risks they take by using them.

We need standards in place to make sure that corporations—whether they are financial institutions, oil companies, commercial fishing companies, or food production plants—behave responsibly and do not threaten Americans’ lives.
Until customers begin to retaliate in kind against the executives of these evil companies this is unlikely to change. fortunately none of my immediate family have been attacked in such a greedy sociopathic manner as to need to douse an executive in gasoline and light them up. Then again, it is only a matter of time.
