Have to take classes to help figure it out and then go through two years of apprenticeship first.

What's a "building permit"?
What does that have to do with light-bulbs?
In what way does this thread have to do with D.I.Y.?

OP is silly.

The journeyman system is the humiliation ritual of construction.

jokes on you....democrats will not even give you a permit.

Oh yeah? What's the thread spacing of the bulb? What's the appropriate torque applied? What conductive metals of bulb and socket are code compliant? What types of bulbs are legal? Do you have a thermal shutoff and what is the appropriate value? What fuses and gfcis should be in circuit? How close to the junction box can ceiling insulation be installed? What size fasteners are appropriate for securing the j box? What gauge is your wiring? How many lumens are satisfactory per square foot of room? If that bulb breaks, how toxic are the internal elements to children? Does your bulb have a warrantee? Did you even wire the fixture right? Now my other circuits aren't working. You'll be hearing from my lawyer.

I don't think these guys are capable of learning anything, let alone teaching. Have you seen the state of your average tradie? Fucking embarrassing. Now you get to 'learn' under a room temperature IQ low functioning alcoholic for 2 years? What are they going to teach you? How to dip out on child support payments? Beat the breathalyzer lock on their 2008 Dodge Ram 1500? How to defeat all the safety features on power tools in a way OSHA inspectors won't notice?

It's so aggravating because it is against literally everything America's constitution stands for. Remember America is a constitutional republic and not a democracy. And all these various licenses and permit requirements are unconstitutional but nobody cares because they are all drugged out zombie retard fat faggots who are glued to a screen all day and depressed. Lol.

>>2991137
permits are important because without them and over time infrastructure will collapse and bring society down with it
permits are the reason why everyone wants to move to america.

Would be so comfy to be able to build more robust versions of these favela huts. It's better than a tent city in the middle of LA
