What the fuck

Firefighters, nurses, teachers, lawyers, massage therapists, barbers,
psychologists and real estate brokers have all had their credentials
suspended or revoked.

these laws are super shitty but it looks like some states who still have them on the books are choosing not to enforce them.

Hawaii, Alaska, Iowa, Mass. and Washington don’t enforce them. Other states recently removed/made theirs powerless with bipartisan support (Oklahoma, New Jersey, Montana), so i feel like there’s hope to be had.

In the meantime, pressure your state lawmakers over crap like this. The worst states seem to be South Dakota, Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas.

so uhhhh how you supposed to pay the loans off when you cant work because your professional license is revoked or you cant drive to/for work

this whole country is just a bunch of rackets
