This is what they do in CA. When you’ve heard Mark Levin say “every day the legislature meets, you lose a little bit of freedom”, this is the paradigm. No, I do not personally ship coal. But this is what the CA legislature does. They hear about something in the news or some child gets asthma from something, and they just continuously come up with bill after bill after bill, restriction after restriction, law after law.
Isn’t that pretty much what governments do everywhere? Yes, California’s is more prodigious in its stupidity but what else does government in this country do but ban more activities and raise more taxes? Other than legalizing gay marriage, unisex bathrooms, and marijuana use I can’t think of much governments do today other than raise taxes and outlaw stuff that used to be legal, or regulate things that used to be left alone.
