Yesterday on Beacon Hill, advocates for legislation known as the "bathroom bill" lobbied for the "right" to use public restrooms and locker rooms "consistent with their gender identity."
When asked how this legislation would impact the right to privacy of biological women forced to share the facilities with a biological man who "identifies" as female, both the Massachusetts Attorney General and the Chairman of the legislative committee conducting the hearing essentially said that those who are concerned about privacy in public restrooms need to just get over it the same way that society has "gotten over" objections to racially integrating bathrooms and public pools.
NEW YORK (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio vowed Tuesday to cap the number of regulations government can impose on businesses, particularly "on-demand" startups like Uber and Airbnb that he considers models for a changing national economy.
Speaking in New York City to tech enthusiasts, Rubio praised the "disruptive" companies but said such businesses and the people who work for them are unfairly burdened by a meddlesome and "out of touch" government.
