Ah, but it doesn&#x27;t. That would be a logical fallacy. Germany could have another reason for regulating barbers. My original comment wasn&#x27;t about the regulation of barbers in general, it was about regulating them in the US (which was what the article was about). Having been to the US a couple of times, I have experienced first hand that you are commonly deprived of your own choices in the name of safety, when really, it&#x27;s in the name of &quot;not wanting to be sued&quot;.
