It's a term sometimes colloquially applied to one or more things that are not actually a "business license".

Some jurisdictions require "Certificates of Occupancy" if the ownership of a commercial property changes. This is more about the state of the structure and modifications made to it.

Some jurisdictions require registration with a state or county tax authority. In my state this is called a "business registration". Depending on jurisdiction, you may not be allowed to legally operate a for-profit business without this registration.

So there are frequently government-issued documents that are not called a "business license" but may be required to legally do business.

And we trust the AI to reliably decide what requires human attention because...?

"Lesson learned, never try"

Have some fucking hope, man.

Lol that's not news.

It does sound like you might be giving / have given up though? Fuck that.

It is, in the sense that it often acts as a tax on people who can least afford it.

The occasional lottery ticket does not particularly affect my budget, so I buy one now and then with the intent to use it for good should I win.
