    As a libertarian I can weigh in here.

    Things that are legitimate for the government to control include things that affect other people without their consent.

    This means it’s valid to require a driver’s license, but not to require a license to practice medicine. But it is valid to require licensure to be an ER worker (treatment happens there without patient consent).

    It also means it’s legit to ban scented detergents, given scents are a communal thing.
