Every human being is a business. You don't declare yourself a business, you trade with your peers to survive and thrive. To talk about doing business like it is some privilege bestowed upon you by the state is really just rationalizing the level of control they've taken in recent years.

Are you wilfully ignoring that there is a legal definition of what a business is, that the issue at hand is spoken about in a legal context? Your personal semantics are irrelevant in that context.
Yes, I am, because I'm trying to avoid the discussion being taken to a place where we argue past each other about what the law says and keep it on track, discussing the fundamentals of why things should or shouldn't be this way.
