Occupational Licensing --> Corruption


"Occupational licensing is like the 'land zoning' of labour policy -- largely hypothetical health and safety edge-cases get used to justify a system that's just 95% about exclusion and graft."
~ M. Nolan Gray, commenting on 'Bogus beauty, nail and barber licenses being sold under the table in DC'

Licensing is when the government takes away your right to do something then sells it back to you.
