The Drew Carey Project 2

For Friday:
1. Why should we care about regulations like this one concerning bacon dogs? Well, people talk about how unhealthy it is, but I think a lot of stuff is really unhealthy. Though they probably just care about obesity rates in America and the sake of the person consuming the Bacon Dog.
2. What other foods are “potentially hazardous”? Should all foods that are “potentially
hazardous” be regulated? I would probably say so. I think it would save many people a lot of hardship.
3. Are vendors like Elizabeth Palacios criminals? I din't think so at all! She is trying to make a living to support her daughter and house and selling bacon dogs is the only way she can! She isn't intentionally hurting anyone.
4. Are consumers being protected by the Health Department regulations? No. They aren't directly consulting with the consumers.
5. How do regulations like this contribute to the formation of a black (or unlicensed)
market? He makes them harder to open and be successful in their business, but they have to understand that they care about the health of the people at the same time.

Kidneys For Sale:
1. What are the problems with the current organ donation system in America? Not enough people are donating.
2. What are some potential problems with paying for organs?
3. Does making something illegal (selling body parts) make that activity stop? How does
being illegal affect the safety of the activity? If it was illegal, people that need the operations might try to do it theirselves and it would be unsafe. It would also affect the person needing the donation because they wouldn't get it.
4. If people are paid for their kidneys, does it matter what they do with that money? I don't think so, no.
5. Why might paying for kidneys affect the poor differently than the wealthy? Because if there was a poor person who needed a donation, they couldn't afford to pay anyone and that could kill them! A wealthy person would be just fine,
6. How can waiting lists be shortened? They coould be shortend if more people donated. They could more strongly try to promote the need of organ donations.

Throw Pillow Fight: I dont remember watching anything about this..
1. Does licensing guarantee quality?
2. Does requiring licenses for interior designers make consumers safer?
3. Why might licensing laws negatively affect poor people, minorities, or older workers?
4. How do licensing laws limit competition?
5. Why do groups like ASID lobby for stricter licensing laws?

Agricultural Subsidies: same for this one..
1. What is protectionism?
2. Should the richest farms and businesses be receiving subsidies? Was that the intent of
the program?
3. How do agricultural subsidies restrict free trade?
4. How do agricultural subsidies affect poor farmers and nations?
5. Why is the subsidy program still in place?
6. Why do both the political left and the political right take issue with agricultural
subsidies?
