While most states regulate professions as prosaic as barber, U.S. states require no license to climb a cell phone tower.

Finally, the hidden agenda. One more thing that needs to be "regulated" to protect the poor and helpless. Can't have any activity going on without the gummint looking over our shoulder now, can we?

I was going to say the same thing. But, after further reflection I think the author was pointing out the absurdity of regulating barbers and not having, at least, some sort of oversight over a very dangerous profession.

I think the OSHA manual takes 11 pages just to describe a ladder. And tells you that a catwalk handrail must be 42” high but doesn’t say whether that’s to the top, center, or bottom.

ADA says telephones must be mounted to the wall at 48” above the floor. I asked an ADA inspector if that was to the top, center, or bottom. He said it depended on the phone and couldn’t clarify anymore than that. Seems that any phone could be in violation.

The ADA law is written completely in female gender. It’s totally her, she no where in the wording do they use the masculine or generic he or him.

It’s NEVER a good idea to let the government do anything other than national defense. And then only if we watch them VERY closely.
