most democrats are ignorant on the subject because they've never run a business

I know a babe runs a lighting business in Seattle. She's Jewish, ergo smarter than this cracker and is a Democrat in her DNA.

A big part of her business is energy efficient conversions, often involving replacement of old fluorescent ballasts with newer electronic versions. A sharp high schooler could learn to do this safely in a month or two, but: -- the electricians recently noted they were losing "their" business and they own part of the legislature

So anyway, after years of these conversions she was recently fined beaucoup bucks for not using a licensed electrician on a particular project. The fine hurt, but she still knows regulation is necessary.

I'd like to suggest to her the consequences of this foolishness multiplied hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of times daily. Can't be done. At the first words she perceives as an attack on her fundamentalist religion her elbows get stuffed in her ears and she begins shrieking.
