What kind of technical work can an international business manager do, say, as compared to an unemployed redneck, who can build to codes, install home energy systems, do auto repairs, systems admin., etc.? And in whose interest would be local zoning laws against manufacturing anything on large, rural, private properties (anti-domestic-competition laws)?
Not sure where you're going with this….but first of all, anyone who can do all of those things is likely not unemployed, unless they are so on purpose. Second, not sure what the zoning laws have to do with this debate…..but overly burdensome zoning laws are of course an example of nanny state liberalism….
