You should only require the qualifications

Not only that, but I can't even grow my own food without being fined.

It's against the local municode.

I'm not allowed to conduct repairs on my home.

@Jeremy what state sucks that much

I’m in Thailand at the moment. It’s fkn great. Shit is so deregulated.
You want to start a business? Start a business.

I'm in a rural town of St. Augustine, FL. I know the regulations are even worse in the corporate cities.

@Jeremy ouch dude I'm sorry

To some extent I feel like needing to get permission to expand your own home from the government is a violation of private property rights

You want to sell food?
You’ve got a cart?
And a stove?
Cook your food. Sell it.
If it’s good, people buy it, you’re successful.
If it sucks, people don’t buy it. You lose.
Thailand is fkn great.

@Samaritan™ depends on the state and county

Are we counting things like housing regulations preventing high rise apartments where housing is sorely needed?

Its like that here

In Aus

Look at this; Georgia, too. Communities can't even grow their own produce and trade with one another, without the government coming down on their throats. https://fee.org/articles/city-shuts-downs-preschoolers-farm-stand-citing-zoning-violations/

And this is Georgia!

Of all places!

I know

I saw a promotional talking about some guy who started by selling on the street and now runs a huge supermarket or something

Bureaucracy was a mistake

But you can't do that anymore because its literally fucking illegal

Then you have the USDA, coming out and cutting down my citrus trees.

My fucking citrus trees.

In my front yard.

Where they at least hanging onto the street?

See, this is your fkn 1776 moment right here.
On mass, everyone should just start selling fruit and vegetables grown at home. Fuck the popo.

No, but I've since planted new ones.

How the fuck is that legal?

@Scale_e Would you still do cleanliness inspections?

Yeah Florida and California are fucked

That's when you go full "hippity hoppity stay off my property"

We're living under dictatorship, I swear.

The level of state control sounds fucking insane to be frank

@Jeremy What the fuck?

It genuinely sounds like you are

@Jack of Trades fuck no. If you get sick, you don’t go back to the place you got sick from. They get a bad rep. They go out of business. It regulates itself.

@Samaritan™ it is

Its so disgusting too since this is such trivial stuff

See this is my dilemma, I want to move out of my rural area into a city but I'm not going to cuck my gun rights

So my options are -very- slim

@Scale_e What if noone gets sick, but it's still really likely you're eating some bugs or some shit. Wouldn't you care to know?
