Law makers seem to universally ignore the unintended consequences of the laws they propose or endorse.
I wish there were a requirement to list all the foreseeable consequences of any law that's proposed, both positive consequences and negative ones.
- themitigating 4y ago"all the foreseeable consequences" If this was feasible why wouldn't you do this for every decision in life.
