"The maturity of man—that means, to have reacquired the seriousness that one had as a child at play." --Friedrich Nietzsche

Carl Spitzweg, "Flying Kites" (1880)
“The most spiritual human beings, assuming they are the most courageous, also experience by far the most painful tragedies: but it is precisely for this reason that they honor life, because it brings against them its most formidable weapons.”

― Twilight of the Idols

I'm John Fallon, a labor economist on the job market. My JMP uncovers something wild: when chiropractors got licensed in the early 1900s, medical boards responded by making it HARDER to become a doctor.

Why would competition lead to stricter regulations?
