My FRiend, I was in no way referring to your self as 3rd worlder, sorry for the misunderstanding.
I was referring to your consideration that professional or skilled trades who hide from the rightful and beneficial, to society in general, regulation and licensing.
Master Plumbers and Electricians, for instance, are required to prove a higher level of technical skill by being licensed to prevent unsanitary or deadly environments in homes and buildings. In Building Trades, their underlings may be licensed for similar protections or simply work under the direction of the Master, to the same effect.
You might be hard to find any Liability that covers poor worknmanship. Take em to court? If they are unwilling to go through a very minor certification and pay for a very minimal license, why would you think they would be willing to live up to the dictates of any court?
Your argument, for NO GOVERNMENT REGULATION is why so many see libertarianism as a faulty concept void of common sense or a realistic understanding of human nature.
Ah - I see the issue...reread my posts - I never said zero govt regs ... I said it should be limited so as not to prevent people with the skills from earning a living and we disagree on what “limited” is.
I even proposed a requirement for liability insurance and also proposed industry certifications - as opposed to govt mandates - as a solution to prevent the ‘uneducated masses’ from being hoodwinked.
My argument - for which I provided examples - is that the licensing and regulation does not provide the safety you profess it does and that the same level of safety can be achieved through other means then GOVT imposed laws and regulations which prevent otherwise satisfactory workmen, such as my dad, from providing adequate services - simply because of $ or cronyism.
Again - my FRiend - I’ll agree to disagree.
