"Someone" might know something, but you in particular have no idea what you're talking about. You think you know better than Indonesians what their laws should be, but you don't.
- civilized 4y agoI guess people can decide that for themselves. Just one question: did "Americans" decide to make becoming a licensed hairstylist require hundreds of hours of training and thousands of dollars in course fees? Or was it special interest groups?
- jessaustin 4y agoWe Americans don't have representative government; rather we have an increasingly less convincing simulation thereof. Your question is merely a specific example of this. You might follow with an obvious question about Indonesia. Since that nation is a vassal of USA, the answer is equally obvious. Let's not stop thinking just yet. This is why context is important. The certification scams you cite serve to move wealth from the poor to the wealthy. That is bad. Requirements that imports to poor nations not be mostly trash serve to protect the wealth of the poor from that sort of extraction. That is good. More familiarity with Indonesia, or with any similar developing nation, would have provided you with this knowledge already.
