Most of these don't even apply...

Does anyone actually do this? And is there a limited number of tomatoes that can be pulled from the ground and sold at market?
- Shame on you guys who paint your own house....your putting all the comm painters out of work.
No different than catching stripers for the table with my recreational permit. You're confusing personal use and commercial use here.
- Only true snowplow drivers should be snowplowing if you make 50% of your income from plowing.
Can anyone in this region earning a median yearly income actually get 50% of that yearly income from plowing?
- I guess I am a bad man......I repiped my hot water heater myself instead of calling a licensed plummer. Wonder how many guys I put out of work.
Again, just like putting fish on your own table with a rec permit. Personal use.
- Come to think of it, I going to sand and paint the bottom of my boat again. I know I really should be calling the comm "pros" at the marina down the street to do it. I feel guilty, maybe I'll make it up to them and take them to lunch.
Most of these blur the distinction of doing work for yourself to save money (just like recs keeping fish for their own table) and creating a side business that exploits a limited resource, potentially at the expense of someone else's career.
I could go on all day with this.......but I'll stop here......  |
