    LOL, you’re just quibbling to be argumentative. Are you going to try to make an argument that having 100% of local jurisdictions ✌️"decide"✌️ ✌️"on their own"✌️ to conform to nationwide standards of practice instead of having a “central system [of] regulation” makes any meaningful, practical difference, or are we done here?

      Coming back to this the next day I’ve realised you’re shifting the goalpost here, my problem is that anybody anywhere can call themselves an engineer. I could care less if they cannot get a job as a civil engineer in 98% of towns. That doesn’t solve my problem. Also, if you really believe that there will never be a case of some idiot hiring a non-engineer despite there being no regulation, then you have much higher faith in humanity than I do.
