"Also, it would be unfair to only allow people with drivers-licensees to drive. Think of the tremendous amount of jobs lost!"

While (presumably) tongue-in-cheek, this is spot-on.

It's a similar argument used by drone manufacturers when it was ruled in some country (forget which) that drones were surveillance devices. The plea from the drone manufacturers was that this was a booming industry.

So f%$king what?

The argument is, essentially: the regulations shouldn't apply to us because we are making money breaking them.
