There are permits required to run a lemonade stand and a bike shop. Who do you think sets the rules for those permits?

Again though that's an example of being affected by politics, not participating in it.

Sales at the lemonade stand are affected by weather, but that doesn't mean that the owner should immediately start building a climate-changing machine.

I get the lemonade stand, but who needs a permit to run a bike shop?
