Underfunded and Over-Regulated, Health Department Crisis!

[30:27] “It’s not the guy that you’re talking to who is gonna make those changes. It ends up going further up the ladder to bureaucrats of some type who are gonna ultimately determine what are the protocols and the standards of this industry”
