So legal challenges were mounted and… the left didn’t bite. Courts upheld the regulations, even for silly things like hair braiding. Rational basis review survived. But somehow, like a cargo cult, the cause of hair braiders demanded millions of $ of RW money. /2 — PolitiTweet.org

The original plan was to attack the rational-basis review test for economic regulation. How can that be done and get the Left to agree with libertarians? Aha! Occupational licensing is often a dumb law that adversely affects minorities. Now the left will agree with us! — PolitiTweet.org

Is there an intellectual history of the libertarian obsession with occupational licensing?

Remarkably, organizations are expending resources *lobbying legislatures* to get rid of hair braiding regulation. Which, I suppose, is a net social good, but for the opportunity cost. And totally misses the point of why the occupational licensing opposition started. /x — PolitiTweet.org
