One Small Step for Michigan, One Giant Leap for Common Sense
The Michigan House passed a bill that would exempt babysitters like the woman who watched neighbors’ kids at a bus stop from daycare regulations. If the bill becomes law, Michigan won’t require you to get a license just to look out a window at some kids for 20 minutes. This is why I always say to take laws at face value and not to assume the government will allow for reasonable exceptions in practice — because it won’t. (Hat tip: John LaPlante.)
