Comment Re:No Accredited Credential, No Regulatory Authori (Score 2) 374

Federal law normally preempts state law, in cases where both jurisdictions have an interest. However, the courts have generally allowed states to provide more specific regulations so long as they meet the requirements of the federal law. Two examples.

Consider minimum wage laws. The US Government requires a minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. Many states and jurisdictions require a higher wage, and are fully allowed to do so, because whatever rate they set above $7.25 meets the requirements of the federal minimum wage law.

Consider emissions standards. The EPA sets emission standards for the country as a whole, but, in practice, California does. Because the California standards meet the minimum requirements of the federal statute, they can set more strict standards.

I still expect some level of quality from idle. I don't want to see pictures of your mother's cat.

If the cat is flying in circles due to being caught in a mini-tornado, then I do want to see pictures of your mother's cat.

The can is clearly labeled 'refrigerate after opening' but you probably gobble down the whole can.

I, personally, prefer WalMart's generic 'luncheon meat' to the real branded Spam. The WalMart stuff just tastes better.

Steer far clear of the Kroeger 'spam' though. Yech.

You imply that I open a can of the stuff. I store the cans in the root cellar with the rest of my survival goods for the inevitable apocalypse.
