“Licensing is not about protecting the public. It’s about a lot of fees to keep an army of lazy ba****ds with IQs of 90 or less employees in govt offices. We are being enslaved by an out of control bureaucracy at all levels.”

Requiring a license to cut hair or raise puppies for sale is legal extortion.
The market will weed out the incompetent ones. Organizations such as the BBB will help you find qualified people. The same way they did before regulation. No system works better than the free market.
