How dare they require legally registered vehicles and insurance at a business. And they'll fine you if you have rats in the food prep areas!
A lot of these super specific rules also seem to be a product of the regulatory culture in the US where you don't regulate things until someone has fucked up really bad. Then you get these super specific rules that cover that one case, but nothing else because people will scream about "unfair over-regulation".
- strictnein 9y agoNice job cutting off the actual number of things requested, to make it seem like it was much smaller than it actually was: > when they asked to have 22 types of records available.
- codemac 9y ago22 types of records isn't that much when you're running a business with employees.
- klbdsvkhl 9y agoThe number of things that one needs to do right approaches infinity, so a trust system is ultimately the only way that accomplishes anything. That doesn't mean that the most onerous and dangerous things can't be checked, but in general systems that run on trust run more efficiently.
- mcguire 9y agoWasn't there an article here last week about how consumers in China were really looking forward to blockchain technology to ensure the safety of the products they buy? Trust is indeed very efficient, but it has certain...limits.

- DrScump 9y agoUnless NY is exceptional, vehicle registration isn't even required for farming vehicles that don't leave the farm or other private property and only cross public roads at right angles.
- ouid 9y ago>Only cross public roads at right angles. What if the public road is differentiable nowhere?
- LolWolf 9y agoThen you can only cross at extrema.
- kevin_thibedeau 9y agoThe issue is they don't want people driving tax exempt diesel trucks all over the place on personal business [1]. This is the cause of the low 25-mile max range limit though I doubt it's strictly enforced. It's not too unusual to see farm plated trucks in urban ares upstate where they are unlikely to be from a nearby farm.
