I agree that protectionist regulation is an issue that states really need to examine. However, I really don't see how you can view the policies violated by Zenefits as one. They are basically in the business of selling one of the critical infrastructures for most peoples life. It's easy to say oh this is just to protect incumbents but realistically these are people who are operating in a stupidly complex system where a mistake can have dire consequences for someones life. 52 hours is in the long run very little. Yeah it may suck if you hire someone and they can't do work for a few days but the alternative is allowing people who aren't actually fully informed to work in an industry where that lack of knowledge can materially affect peoples life. I'm not ok with that. I've seen what a lapse in coverage at an inopportune time can do to a family. It's not pretty. Really I'm more concerned that 60% is considered an acceptable passing grade. Instead of arguing for less regulation we should be condemning this entire company and demanding higher standards for the exam.
