Who DV'd me for asking a question?



I'm pretty sure the answer is that you have to have one.

LA has some ridiculous amount of hours/training to be a licensed florist. It's absolutely fricking retarded and it keeps the labor/supply pool artifically low, protects existing florists, and raises prices for consumers. This is true for every single other occupation that requires licensure.

Louisiana is the only state that licenses florist too.

When Jindal got to office this became a minor controversy as there was a lawsuit about it. Jindal got on his soapbox about freedom and stuff and said he was going to stop it. All he did was sign a testing procedure--a small example of his phony commitment to individual freedom and small government.

BTW the state republican chairman for years was Roger Villere, a florist.

But even of there is a line somewhere (physicians, etc.), based on safety, liability, etc., where does a state get the idea florists should be included?

Why not grocery baggers while we're at it?
