Your "in most of the world" thing is just plain wrong.
Really? Travel much. Because I have and this is one of the primary questions I get asked. Why American liberals act much like other countries' socialists.
It doesn't make you look too credible when you make such claims.
Actually, it makes Americans look like they are politically illiterate. Which I believe is a valid perception for more reasons than just this one issue of terminology.
As for criminal background checks, those are a standard part of many hiring processes.
There's no need to license and track this particular form of occupation specifically. None at all.
The state seems to think that they need a revokable license. Setting aside the age problem (but there is another interesting issue here*) as prostitution is generally illegal, the state believes it needs a mechanism to remove violators from clubs. In some cases, against the wishes of the clubs themselves. The Colacurcio clan looked the other way when 'lewd acts' were being commited in their clubs, knowing full well that such behavior brought in more business. So club owners aren't motivated to do extensive background checks. And from an expense point of view, they certainly don't want to repeat them to ensure dancers maintain clean records.
These are some good reasons to legalize prostitution. When legal, the need to do anything more than an age check goes away, along with a lot of bullshit licensing processes.
*I can see a remaining need for a particular kind of state ID: If prostitution becomes legal, it will still be a good idea for clubs and individual customers to have an 'age ID' available to check. As our state drivers licenses/ID cards have residential addresses on them, along with other personal information, some hookers might hesitate to show such identification to an unknown customer. So a card with a photo, description, stage name and a state license number could be issued upon verification of the holder's age. Any need to file a complaint against a sex worker could be made to the state and include this license number. Only authorized law enforcement would have access to the worker's personal data.
The issue is why in the bloody hell is the government licensing dancers?
Actually, there is. Its to keep underage dancers and those with criminal (prostitution) records out of the clubs. The way it works (is supposed to work) is that dancers are issued licenses in their real names by the state. These licenses must be presented to 'adult cabaret' operators (who are also licensed) as a prerequisite to working on the premises.
At one time, the actual license had to be held by the cabaret. Supposedly, this allowed law enforcement to 'pull' the license of anyone convicted of various offenses (prostitution). In fact, this law was written under the guidance of the Colacurcio family regime as a means to tie dancers to their clubs. This is very similar to how women in some countries are forced into prostitution (sometimes by surrendering passports instead of licenses). The licensing process may have been changed since many Seattle politicians were caught in Frank's back pocket.
Fundamentally, the licensing laws are a good idea. But possession of a license is a matter between a dancer and a cabaret.
One thing that this whole thread might be missing: Since the death of Frank Sr and the ejection of his family from the Seattle strip club scene, the business has really taken off with several new clubs opening. This is in part due to corrupt politicians having been tossed out who helped the Colacurcios maintain their near monopoly. Now, there is a huge demand for dancers in these new clubs and I'm just wondering out loud to myself: Is Van Vleet actually trying to round up the names and addresses of dancers to open his own club?
Washington State sells that as well. I used to license my vehicles at a PO Box. Then we had a state law passed* requiring vehicle records be registered to a physical address. So now all the dealers' junk mail** starts appearing at my home.
*People started ducking Seatle's high license tab fees by registering in outlying communities.
**"Our records show you have a year X model Y vehicle for which we have a number of interested buyers." Dealers have ownership databases supposedly to support sending recall notices. But their overarching use seems to be advertising. And if you've got a buddy working at a dealrship, they can run plates for you faster than the cops.
Good point. But if I can take (patentable) software targeted to a special purpose processor and port it to a different (possibly general purpose) processor, I have bypassed the patent.
The goal of a 'well written' patent is to be as general as possible without getting tossed out of a USPTO examiner's office.
It depends on your point of view with respect to various socio-economic theories. From the left, everything appears to be leaning right.
In most of the world, 'liberal' means laissez-faire, small government. Some types of conservatism rely on massive government intervention or support of business. But either way, since both of these philosophies tend to support capitalism, wealth creation and maintenence they look pretty much the same to socialists.
Not yet incorporated into the model if I understood the talk correctly.
This will be interesting to see when the ground is modeled. At some point, ground features (hils, valleys,etc.) may affect the growth and trajectory of a tornado. And it would be interesting to see if such models can provide a damage risk profile with respect to these features.
In the USA, gas taxes cover less than half, with the rest coming out of general taxes.
Correct, depending on the type of road. The interstate highway system is paid for out of gas taxes. Local roads are paid out of local tax reciepts from sales, property, income, vehicle licensing and fuel. Because many people who do not drive their own cars still derive benefits from the roads (roads include associated sidewalks and bicycle lanes). And those groceries you walk home with from the corner store were delivered by a truck.

Heck, armed teenagers would solve this problem.
So, arm the kids.

Those air gaps are essential
Right. These are called slats or Krueger flaps. Or slotted faps if they are on the airfoil trailing edge.
I had an extra helping of sexy beast for dinner last night.
Miley Cyrus.
they should go find one.
Too much work. The football game is on TV.
he'd better bring a lot of dollar bills for the sacrifice.

So I'll know where not to park my mobile home.
Television does not affect behavior. Unless its the network selling advertising time.
The term "liberal" was co-opted by the Socialists many years ago as a marketing stratey.

In UK, the gas taxes pay for the roads.
Do they cover all the road costs?
In the USA, gas taxes cover less than half, with the rest coming out of general taxes.

It might be better if there were two classes of devices, one run by others for them, and ones you drive yourself.
Apple vs Android.
Windows vs Linux.
Self driving cars vs stick shifts.
