If these immigrants can't get the proper permits to work, they won't be able to afford much even with the state offering them a place to sleep and medical care. This will eventually start costing a lot of money for the state, and they'll eventually lose money that they can't afford to lose...

Unfortunately men who try to wear makeup would probably end up getting punished, since the Amish tend to view gender on a binary and don't believe men should wear makeup and only view women as the only gender who can wear makeup. Makes me wonder how many people got in trouble for not wearing...

I recall when I worked at a local grocery store, we had to deny an alcohol purchase from a guy who had a UK driving license. I suppose he wasn't aware that it's not a valid license here and we couldn't legally sell him alcohol. It was a headache though, he was completely rude to me.

Wow this is absurd! I can't believe Boston makes it almost impossible for bar owners to get a liquor license. In this day and age where the cost of living keeps going up and these bar owners need to make a living, the city is making things more difficult.

A homebuilder in Vancouver is upset with the time and costs it takes to get renovation permits in the city. Avi Barzelai posted a lengthy thread on Twitter outlining the process to get permits to do a simple bathroom renovation in the City of Vancouver. He outlined a total of nine pieces of...

I decided to take a look at when specifically I'll need a permit whenever starting new projects here in the city of O'Fallon. Apparently we need a permit to finish our basement, which I didn't know about until now! I knew that in certain cases if you're adding on to your house you'd need a...

It's odd that my local DMV has the same rating as the LA Department of Building and Safety on Yelp. Perhaps there will be changes in the future as more and more people share their feedback and experiences on Yelp. I know places like these can be stressful for employees, and that could be why the...

This sounds like a huge headache for the owners of the patio. On one hand they believed they were in the clear because their first inspector gave them the okay to keep at it. While on the other hand, they didn't do research and get the proper permits prior to getting the patio built. Either way...

Huh that's interesting, here in the states most universities have parking permits for their students but not for the general public. If we want to park in a huge parking lot, we just pay a fee whenever we get to the lot. There are some places that allow you to purchase a parking pass, or a...

I'm surprised it took Iowa a while to notice this! It was definitely more convenient for those who had handicap tags prior to the change though, they didn't have to worry about renewing their tags. Now they have to make sure they renew them so they don't get in trouble for using expired tags. I...

Due to white-tailed deer populations decreasing in the Northeast Minnesota area, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources announced a change to the 2023 deer hunting season. In previous years to help with the population decrease, fewer antlerless hunting permits were given out and now for...

A number of people in Atlanta, Georgia were in a uproar when 400 year old trees were being removed without the proper permits back in July. The home owners were denied access to a permit to remove the trees numerous times, however this didn't stop them from hiring a tree removal service. People...

I honestly never knew you had to get a permit to chop down a Christmas tree! To be fair, my family never used fresh Christmas trees during the Holidays. We have cats, and I don't think it's a good idea to have a fresh one in the house since my cat might chew on the pine needles. Thankfully the...

It's great that these business owners can now rely on getting their alcohol permits as soon as possible and don't have to worry about their businesses being shut down! I can imagine it must have been a nightmare when they had to fill out forms, and wait for a physical permit to come in the mail.

Something I just found about the state of Missouri is in some cases you'll need a special use permit if you're wanting to participate in certain activities in conservation areas. For example, those who need to use a mobility device may need to get a special use permit in order to use their...
