> Is this even corruption? It's a tool used to further it. > Who's getting kickbacks here? As a result of this law? Hard to say. It's rather large. Presumably they're _already_ receiving kickbacks or political protection and this allows them to protect and further that. > It sounds like they're just incompetent It's amazing how often they're incompetent and how little consequence they suffer from that. This is a canard, and, not a particularly useful aphorism when trying to understand this _particular_ law. > and brainstorming stupid ideas and writing a law around whatever sticks to the wall. You're imagining excuses on behalf of powerful people rather than examining the law they've just passed.
