“A neighbor and I were talking about going black market as a means of choosing who to do business with.”
Another of those unintended consequences that will bite caesar in the posterior. Caesar relies on businesses being out in the open so they can more easily taxed, regulated, etc.
I think the big, huge, enormous unintended consequence here is the untimely demise of social (in)security. Now that everyone can “marry” everyone else, it won’t be long until family members are strategically “marrying” one another to take full advantage of the benefits to which they are entitled. Grandmothers “marrying” grandchildren to provide and extend survivor benefits. Friends “marrying” friends to increase their benefits. The actuaries never took that into account.
They have their decision, now let them live with it. :-)
