Your post reminds me of a letter to the editor I saw years ago. It was about some proposed NJ law to make something illegal in a “school zone”, or extra illegal I should say.
The writer said: just make every crime a felony in a school zone and then re-zone New Jersey so it is entirely comprised off school zones - our crime rate will drop to zero!
It’s like our employees in the government don’t want to do any real work at all, just BS make-work.
Ya, it was a sarc thing - or as one person said: Make all things legal then we would have no crime.
