        <description>They just cut plumber training by 70% in Louisiana — and this could spread nationwide. In this video, Roger Wakefield breaks down Louisiana House Bill 953 and why plumbers, homeowners, contractors, and apprentices should all be paying attention. This isn’t just about plumbing licenses. It’s about public health, construction standards, labor costs, and who controls the future of skilled trades in America. ⚠️ Topics covered: • The 1933 Chicago disaster that changed plumbing laws forever • How cross-contaminated plumbing killed 98 people • Why Louisiana lawmakers want to reduce training requirements from 8,000 hours to 2,000 • The real reason behind the so-called “plumber shortage” • How construction lobby groups gained influence over licensing boards • Why this could become the model for other states next • What this means for wages, safety, and the future of the plumbing trade If you’re a plumber, apprentice, homeowner, or someone considering the trades, this affects you. Watch until the end to understand: ✔️ Who benefits ✔️ Who pays the price ✔️ And what you can do before this reaches your state 👇 Drop a comment with your thoughts: Should plumber training requirements be reduced?
