re: Baby Boomers: The Entitled Generation?

That's a stretch. None of these things interfere with the ability of a plumber to be successful because all costs associated with compliance for any regulatory item is passed on to customers as a cost of doing business.

I'll use this plumber example again with a personal story: I had a pretty big, messy plumbing project I needed taken care of urgently (replacing a 600 ft gas line to my home). I had three plumbers come to look at the job only to never hear from them again. Finally, I found a young plumber recently out on his own with a small crew and he jumped at the chance to make good money. He was a hard working kid and I don't think he finished high school, but he's going to be very successful in his life.

He wasn't looking for excuses to turn down the job because he had reasons to take it.
