Creeping Ossification ...

Ace:

I'm angry that someone put into my head the reflexive thought: Of course you mustn't do that; you aren't Allowed.

And once you've accepted that basic regime of requiring permission and licensing to do most everything in your life-- that makes it quite easy for the state to simply begin forbidding you to do whole categories of things altogether.

After all, you've accepted you need a license to do this or that, and that license can only come from the government. And if the government then refuses-- well, it's up them, isn't it? They have the right to deny you, right?

But did they?

When did they accumulate this power?

Just over the course of long decades, as a result of a thousand laws passed For the Public Good, and millions of decisions that it just wasn't worth fighting over.

Is a State License for Interior Design necessary? It is for those who profit from limiting access to labor.



Hey! With jobs being so scarce why not free people to work.  Fluid labor markets are best for a nation.
