Once again, here is the map of the new Federalism shaping up in lieu of a strong national government ceding control; there's four of them as of yesterday:

People talking "Constitutional Convention":

Doesn't help when big Federal rescue programs fail to help, many give up on the idea of big Federal government being of any help, the bureaucracy and those big enough to have lobbyists will eat all the help up before anyone it was meant for can get it:

As far as things like hairdresser licensing, I do recall Yglesias and other neolibs having a major ongoing discussion a few years back about some of the excesses of "credentialism" in general and how they tend to result in little more than frustrating small business with needless bureaucracy and stifling innovation.

In the hairdressing realm, i.e., Afro American lady in the hood does braiding for money in house, it grows to a bigger business, she gets shut down for being a barber without a license even though she only cuts fake hair extensions before she applies them.

Bureaucracy was the enemy here in NYC medical response, what they needed from the government was to over rule it's own rules. I.E., who the fuck cares what state you are licensed in to nurse or whether your license has expired since you retired. Get in here pronto! And like: gimme those things, I don't care if they've gone through all the FDA loopholes or not...Etc.
