Expect hotel pricing in California to increase as cleanliness goes down:
a) they will be required to use “fitted” sheets thus making laundry and rapid bed making a bigger pain
b) they will be required to use long handled cleaning utensils so no more stooping on the floor and getting those hard to reach places.
I am an ex maid. I know these things.

There is a new study out from Europe showing that low-salt diets are ineffective in preventing all the things a low salt diet supposedly prevents. American researchers don’t believe it. (human studies are always tricky, read through for why they think the study is flawed)
In the meantime I loved this little spat between Dr. Briss and Dr. Alderman:
Dr. Briss adds that it would not be prudent to defer public health actions while researchers wait for results of a clinical trial that might not even be feasible.
Dr. Alderman disagrees.
“The low-salt advocates suggest that all 300 million Americans be subjected to a low-salt diet. But if they can’t get people on a low-salt diet for a clinical trial, what are they talking about?”
He added: “It will cost money, but that’s why we do science. It will also cost money to change the composition of food.”
Yes, let’s all rush out and force everyone into low-salt diets and force food companies to drop their salt content because……the research just “doesn’t make sense otherwise”. LOL

I heard the salt thing on the radio this morning and was just thinking about my own very high salt diet and my continued (at the advanced age of 50) low blood pressure.
Also — what’s up with the fitted sheets? Easier for the maids with respect to occupational hazards???? Once again — total micromanagement of life by the government.
I have no idea why fitted sheets would be easier on maids. It’s harder on laundry.
The legalize doesn’t give the why.
Agree with JG. Too much micomanaging!!
And one might think that the blogger likes the salt shaker? hah
