"When he made the decision to start his own moving company, Underwood was running an established small business in Reno, Nevada, providing home cleaning services. A moving business was a natural next step, he thought, after he noticed several of his clients inquiring about moving services.
A year later, the government came calling.
One of Underwood’s trucks was cited in 2005 for operating without a license ― in the state, anyone can load or unload a truck, but special permission from the state government is required to drive a loaded truck from point A to point B. He paid the fine and began the process of bringing his company, Man With A Van Moving, in compliance with the state law.
He soon learned that the only way to get a license in Nevada was to comply with a law requiring proof that his business would not “unreasonably and adversely” affect other companies by creating additional competition."..............
Licensing is immoral and a tool to dumb down everyone and concentrate power and raise costs (see doctoring, contracting, engineering, policing, selling goods)
Licensing is essentially un American and someone rampant and doing all the damage expected.
The most important thing is to NEVER do a cost benefit analysis, because then we could not base licensing on emotions and impressions, the system would fall apart.
