A couple of weeks ago you posted about the occupational licensing issue in New Mexico. I made a similar comment there and mentioned the what you do here.
I will agree with this fully, that honest labor is being kept out of market under the guise of safety while true motives are more about controlling the people. Had the issue stopped at control, a lot of folks wouldn't have bothered raising there voices. But the reality is, that in this case the financial lives of hundreds of thousands potentially skilled workers could be severely impacted directly. If we take their families into account, the numbers would run into high millions for those who are being indirectly but equally impacted.
Under this situation voluntary licensing would be happily taken up by the concerned people, if they are given a chance. Sad part is that even this might not be given a chance to the control 'freak' nature of the government.
