Well, I don't feel particularly oppressed. In the distant past, the
US didn't bother with the guild system, which was a European
exclusive.

Distant past, nothing. There are very few jobs in Germany that one
can hold without formal structured training, passing a test, holding
a certificate, with mandated continuing education to keep it.

We need more of that in this country. There'd probably be less crime and
fewer unemployed. Such a system would reduce the need for immigration.
