Here’s your daily (or hourly?) reminder that politicians have outlived their usefulness.
According to a new article out at The Grio, Democrat Jamaal Bailey, a New York state senator, introduced a bill to revamp the hair industry and advance “hair texture inclusion” so people with all different hair types can pop in for a haircut anywhere, and expect trained staff. From
Democratic New York Senator Jamaal Bailey understands firsthand how challenging it is to find a hair stylist trained in his hair texture.
He told Allure magazine he often runs into scenarios where he’s not in his neighborhood but in need of a quick tape-up or shape-up — and left debating who around him might be qualified.
‘The struggle is real,’ he said.
This is partly why, in April, he introduced Bill S6528A, a new law in New York state that will require all hair stylists to be trained in all textures.
‘It’s not only common sense; [it’s] the right thing to do,’ Sen. Bailey told Allure when speaking about the new law. He added, ‘It’s personal.’
(I’ll add this: it aggravates me to no end to hear that elected officials consider government a vehicle for personal gratification and self-service. A law should never be based on “personal” desires and whims.)
From the law’s summary on the state senate’s website:
Requires the secretary of state to promulgate rules and regulations requiring that education and testing for cosmetologists or natural hair stylists include education and testing regarding the provision of services to individuals with all hair types and textures, including, but not limited to, various curl or wave patterns, hair strand thicknesses, and volumes of hair.

Bwahahahaha
Since when is it the job of government to make a law like this?
The woke will use this law to shut downs certain businesses. That’s what it’s designed to do.
In other words, blacks segregated themselves and refused to service white people, but those same blacks are terrible and other blacks hate their work. So, NY thinks white people, whom blacks were racist against, must now service those blacks.
Screw that.
A TAPE UP????????
WHAT IS THAT????
IS this jerk demanding that “BARBERSHOPS do PERMS & such for women?????
Most barbershops cater to MEN only...IT is their local “Man Cave”.
