The Barbers place looks like garbage, the person coming out just got a horrible haircut, but as long as that license is on the wall I'm protected right?

Better call the law when mom cuts her childrens hair, or heaven forbid, washes hair.

Of course unscrupulous businessmen don't like regulations, I get that. It makes sense Trump would be against regulations, they interfere with his grifting ways.

If the Republicans had their way, we would be as polluted as China, with the same food and drug quality issues and the same smog and filthy, smelly dead rivers.
Then why do we still have smog and pollution?

That you actually think that is the other option is on you. hahahahaha
That's the type of thought process one gets from listening to government.

A license isn't telling you if a barber is good. It's telling you that the barber has been trained as a barber. Licenses rarely determine if someone is good at their licensed trade...just that they have completed the required training/education.

The license covers such things as cleaning and sterilization of implements. But you know what? it wouldn't matter what I said to you; your goal here seems to be to argue.

You didn’t answer the question. Why as a free person do I need the master’s permission to do things?

Like I said before, licensing can be entirely optional. People can choose a licensed dentist or an unlicensed one.

That’s all fine and dandy but why does licensing have to be mandatory and enforced at gunpoint?

Why can’t it be optional?

You have no clue how regulations work, do you?
