DC government corruption

[Anonymous]

Of course these licenses are necessary. BTW, don’t get a haircut in certain countries if you don’t like Hep C. I guess DC too?

The argument I heard was that they use "chemicals" and have "sharp" tools. By that logic, landscapers should have licenses.

The hygiene requirements are my big concern. I don't want to catch someone's skin disease because the barber wasn't trained in cleaning their tools properly.

Licensing doesn't enforce this though. You want inspection of registered businesses.

The new DLCP has the cosmetology board, cosmetology licensing applications/licensing, and registered businesses all under its purview.

So why don't food vendors have the same extensive licensing requirements? You don't need a thousand hours of food prep training to open a hotdog cart or work in a McDonald's.

I think food vendors are licensed under DLCP, but with DOH guidelines. Not sure.

It's good to know that food requires less hygiene than hair. 1000 hours of training to cut hair. 0 hours of training to make a burger.

You have clearly never worked in any form of food service.

Yes nothing new here but I’m guessing you don’t recall when someone from the DMV were scamming for licenses.

I was a line cook. Zero hours of training.

If you did that in DC without a Food Handlers ID card you were in violation of the law.

Licensing teaches it. If you fail to enforce it you lose the license. There were horrific stories from unscrupulous facialists who gave people Hep C, scars, and infections. A simple haircut or a shave can do that too. DC is losing the plot.

I don't think you know the law in DC.

We are stuck with the city government Marion Barry built. His political machine is still very much intact.

If only there were, in D.C., an agency - or maybe a bureau - with the capability of doing investigations of public corruption; perhaps even a federal investigation? Hmmm hmmm hmmm.

If they did that, it would be racist.

So, no.
