Why Are Strippers More Heavily Vetted Than Uber Drivers?

they aren't more heavily vetted, the process it's just less automated and therefore more time consuming and difficult.

> Like most laws around the industry, what is touted as protecting women and children is actually about controlling women’s movements and policing nonwhites.

Hairdressers and nurses are also licensed by the state. I don't think it's malicious.

Maybe the broader question is, why are we vetting so many jobs through state licensing?

"A 2013 study found that 25% of today’s workforce is in an occupation licensed by a state entity, up from just 5% in 1950."
