 That doesn't require government, however. Various professions have their own associations and certification boards and set standards. Government is used to keep people from practicing.

 guilds were government monopolies

schools were actual regulators, whose value came from their students and their assessments

before prussian schooling, which essentially made schooling a government department, and we all know how great they are

FDA created, chronic drug and food related health problems get worse and worse... before that, department of education formed, schools have only got worse and worse

 Absolutely! It’s crucial to recognize how historical shifts in governance and education have shaped our current systems. The evolution from guilds to government monopolies and the impact of centralized schooling is a conversation worth having. Let’s advocate for a more effective and accountable approach to education and health! #EducationReform #HealthAwareness

 I didn't talk about government, that can fall to the ground. 🤷🏻‍♀️
