I meet young (and not so young) people who fit this profile every day.
Progressives want the government to control everything in order to enrich themselves and their cronies.
Nice little business you are trying to have there.
Be a shame if anything was to happen to it...
Ain’t that the truth!
I remember when you went to the barber and just got a haircut.
You could specify a flat top for a dime extra.

And as working people, their wages and savings will be stolen by inflation, taxes, and cost-push bubbles in property, education and medical care, courtesy of the Federal Reserve and our unbacked, fiat, printed currency, and massive government debt.
I read a story a few years ago about a man who cut hair at the local flea market, which is a very large market. He made an incredible amount of money and I imagine it was all under the table.
Impossible to know and comply with every ridiculous law, ordinance, regulation, rule, and guideline that federal, state, and local governments spew forth constantly. A sign that government is much too large at all levels, and the only solution is that it be ripped out, root and branch — no trimming around the edges.
Americans, on average, unknowingly commit four violations of law each day. Would be better for the young couple to start their businesses in compliance with local requirements, to the extent reasonable, and take their chances & ignore the rest.
I stopped getting expensive hair cuts when my hair stopped growing at an acceptable rate. No one complains, but who would risk that? I’ll either cry or look at you in a very angry fashion. You might not want to choose which you prefer.
The progressive American dream is to become a Community Organizer...
I bought a small retail business in 1970 in northern NJ. Aside from Atty fees which were minimal I had to pay for a business operating certificate which costs about $100 in 1970.
That was it and I was off to the races until the economic disaster which we call the Carter years hit. Made it through that and did fine Retired at age 52, moved to Cape Cod where I spend my time making life miserable for Red Sox and Pats fans (I’m a Yankees-Giants guy)
LOL! Good post. I got a haircut about 3 hours ago. It cost $11 and I left Brian a $3 tip. It’s been hard work throughout my life, but everything has turned out very, very good. Okay on steroids.
It seems that is the only way young, ambitious people who don’t have an Ivy League degree can make it these days.
How I wish the know-it-alls in Washington would just get out of their way.
Potential wasted is a sad thing to see in any endeavor life has to offer. The couple should be counseled on risk/reward and the benefits from same. But we have people who say, “why work, I can get the benefits now and they are free.”
This leads to crime. The crime I’m referring to is committed by those who see welfare as a means to be elected to office and give taxpayer monies to those who are willing to take them. In that area, we are definitely not “OK!”
I see this everyday.
Breaks my heart, makes me furious.
Been in place for too many years.
Bring the whole damn thing down on their heads.
Read about a guy who ran a parking lot. Sold tickets out of his little shack for about 20 years. One day, he was gone. Turned out, it was a city parking lot and nobody was running it at all ever. Guy made a mint.
Used to always have my hair cut by a man, but the local barbershop began employing women a while back. Kinda nice having a pretty female provide a haircut, and they tend to do a better job than the men. I give at least a 50% tip, often more.
Good examples
