Let’s see: the so-called “progressives”, who didn’t have much use for the Constitution when they were still sane, now want government to regulate pretty much everything that isn’t sex or sexual expression or frees up folks for having more sex (like abortion).
We need licenses or permits to do anything because, save for our sexcapades, we are bound before a government that is free.
At least when government did a lot less for people but made a show at expecting some lip service to sexual morality we were free from their endless government demands we pony up and together line and not so riddled as a people with STDs....
“Toe the line” ... darn autocorrect!
Requiring licensing to do a job is a revenue source for the government, and it puts enough of an impediment up that wages for those with licensing go up 10% on average due to lack of competition.
Institute for Justice is fighting that, especially insane cases like hair braiders told to get a cosmetology license that costs thousands of dollars but doesn’t cover hair braiding.
