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.
Why not grocery baggers while we're at it?

Their five-year legal battle ended quietly at the Supreme Court last week with a defeat for state-enforced "economic protectionism" and a victory for small entrepreneurs.
It is part of a growing trend of successful "economic liberty" cases championed by the Institute for Justice, a libertarian legal group based in Arlington, Va.
