Porque Mongo vai ainda demorar a chegar

Ao longo dos anos fui descobrindo, e fui percebendo que Portugal não é um país muito diferente dos outros, e que os seus agentes não são nem melhores nem piores que os dos outros países.

"In Minnesota, more classroom time is required to become a cosmetologist than to become a lawyer. Becoming a manicurist takes double the number of hours of instruction as a paramedic. In Louisiana, the only state in the country that requires licenses for florists, monks were until recently forbidden to sell coffins because they were not licensed funeral directors.
...
In the 1970s [Moi ici: Nos Estados Unidos], about 10 percent of individuals who worked had to have licenses, but by 2008, almost 30 percent of the work force needed them.
.
With this explosion of licensing laws has come a national patchwork of stealth regulation that has, among other things, restricted labor markets, innovation and worker mobility."
