Friendlys does! Unfortunately, if I remember correctly, we “cleaned” them by letting them sit in seltzer and then wiping them off before reattaching them. I’m only now realizing that we went to so much effort to do that, but using the same sanitizer as the soft serve machines would have been significantly more effective and easier.
It at least keeps things like black mold or giant bacterial colonies from getting hold, but it’s kind of pointless.
When I worked at subway… Fuck me 10 years ago this month…
We pulled them nipples and the inserts off every night and rinsed them in hot water, then left em overnight in sanitizer solution, and I (being 6’4") had to clean the ice holder every 2 weeks to a month, never got told bad in there thanks to that
There was a picture our boss would show you of what happens when you don’t that convinced everybody to clean it religiously. We got free drinks from the machine, after all, we’d only be killing ourselves faster with that shit being dirty
The ACA is a center right to right leaning policy. It’s a middle ground between Medicare for All and the disaster that privatized healthcare was before the ACA.
Republicans are in a lose-lose position because they cornered themselves into rabidly opposing anything Obama did and calling it communism. Obama tried to appeal to moderates and republicans by making the ACA an incredibly bipartisan approach to healthcare. The republicans didn’t want to let Obama have a win so the party threw everything they could behind blocking it in the hopes that when they won next they would copy it and change a few minor things and pass it off as some completely new idea nobody had ever considered.
Notice that when Trump was in office, the proposed healthcare bill (AHCA) the republicans put together was just a slightly tweak of the ACA. Then they canned it when it was wildly unpopular, shrugged and moved on. Now the doublespeak is “Obamacare was bad but it would’ve been worse if it hadn’t been for me and we’re gonna fix it, but don’t ask me how yet.”
And that’s the best they’ve come up with in the 14 years since the ACA was passed.
And the biggest clue to the truth of this is that the ACA is basically just RomneyCare with a few more individual protections bolted on. It was literally Mitt Romney’s plan to fix health care, and the Obama team used it because they knew that it could get support in the GOP.
