License to fish? License to… RIDE A BIKE? License to… HAVE A DOG/CAT? License to USE A RADIO? (I’m talking about GMRS, AFIAK emergency services do not use GMRS frequencies)

Why is everything a license?

What next? License to exist?

Someday they are gonna require a license to get your own water, or filter your own air (due to pollution).

    License to have a dog:

    Costs a certain amount of money each month. This funds public cleaning of dog poop and free dog poop bags.

    Wait… i never heard of this… where is this utopia located?!

      I know of them in Germany. But the duckduckgo image search reveals that they exist in many places.

        Clearly not in US cities… because there is dog shit every where and dog owners get indignant when they are told to pick that shit up lol

          This used to be like this in my hometown (in Europe). Then the city government placed free excrement bag dispensers in many places and did a public awareness campaign telling people to clean up after their dogs; this definitely had an effect, I hardly ever see dog poop anywhere anymore.
