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.

    This is true.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
