Ridiculous rental prices and annual rent increases with no improvements to show for it.
Popups.
Cigarettes
Yes… let’s create another prohibition era item… it’s a vice.
yea outlawing people’s drugs worked so well so far lmao
Those chainsaw discs for angle grinders.
Didn’t even know that was a thing. Looks so sketchy.
“Sketchy” is an understatement, the thing is just itching to embed itself in your throat meat.
They is crazy, I didn’t know those existed. Are they dangerous? Seems low utility given the small diameter.
Incredibly. They’re used for carving wood, but they’re super grabby. Grabby with any cutting tool is bad.
I’ve never seen those, but it sounds fun
Unlimited campaign finance
For-profit healthcare.
For-profit insurance too.
Not sure Rick when one can insure a hole in one is just a business decision.
But I get it health housing and catastrophic losses could be better monitored and regulated.
I’d go further and ringfence all the basic needs so that you can’t profit from providing them, just make enough to live off if needs be.
Forced arbitration clauses.
Killing animals for pleasure.
This is generally illegal and heavily fined as well. Depends on where you live, I guess.
Taste pleasure.
Trophy hunting, after all this time, is still legal and big business.
Also depends on which animals
Does your country not allow hunting?
Hunting isn’t purely done for fun, it is also done to harvest meat
and ecological conservation
Absolutely, the biggest nature lovers in my family are all hunters, they enjoy being in the woods, they enjoy seeing animals, they follow the rules to only harvest as much they are allowed and only during the season permitted.
In my country it’s mostly done for fun.
So people go out, shoot a deer and just leave it there?
Seems like an extreme waste to me…
It’s usually not that much extra effort to take the carcass and bring it to a butcher, so they do that sometimes. But yeah. Often, just leave it.
It’s actually not all that bad because we have a lack of natural predators (because we already hunted them almost to extinction) so hunting keeps the deer population from exploding.
Ok, so they also do make a good deed in adition to just hunting.
It’s generally legal and heavily subsidised. See also animal agriculture.
Sustenance is different from pleasure
So you agree that if it isn’t for sustenance, in the case where you can just simply eat something else, it should be illegal?
no one said that. you’re making a leap of logic.
Sustenance doesn’t mean “the only thing available”.
Look, I’m excited for lab-grown meat. I’ve reduced my meat consumption significantly over the last year or two. I may not be “in your camp” exactly, but I’m an ally. And it’s probably better to earn and keep allies than to argue semantics in an adversarial way. Win more flies with honey and all that.
I assume you agree o the general statement “Animals shouldn’t be killed for pleasure.”
If you then have two options for food, one including animal meat and one without, all other things being equal, even nutrition wise, then how is it not “for pleasure” to chose the option with meat?
for most people making taht decision does not involve killing anything. both options have already been harvested and presented.
Killing for pleasure implies hunting for sport.
Chopping up a cow so that tons of people can buy its meat is different than someone hunting bears for sport and leaving the corpse where it lands.
that’s not killing for pleasure.
Qualified immunity for police officers. Prosecutors and judges basically get qualified immunity, too-- in that they can be caught engaging in all sorts of inappropriate and illegal activity without facing punishment because like police, it usually doesn’t even get to the extent of being charged.
I don’t even understand how qualified immunity could even be implemented without massive social unrest
Maybe fix the social issues as well so there’s no need to riot
Gambling, overtime working.
Talking to me.
Take me to prison then.
Supermarkets and businesses throwing food away and not allowing people to take it for free. (“If I can’t sell it nobody can have it”).
Would only work if you also made them immune from lawsuits due to people getting sick from eating expired food.
they already are under the good samaritan laws; they use lawsuits as an excuse for their shitty behavior.
Depends on your location. Good Samaritan laws vary widely.
The food would presumably “last moment before expiry” i.e. we can’t sell this tomorrow so we give it away tonight.
Expiration dates on packaged food are almost always about how enjoyable the food is to eat, not safety. Donating expired packaged food with legal protection from liability would be good for the world.
Buy-here-pay-here car dealers
Pawn shops
Payroll advance loans
Title loans
Private prisons
Bankruptcy-proof loans
Bankruptcy for corporations
Just spitballing here, feel free to add any I missed…
i’m sorry, but what is that first one, and what’s the alternative?
Not really something that is legal that should be illegal, but I would love to see this nonsense that corporate executives can’t be held criminally responsible (the corporation is) for their illegal acts. I think it would correct an awful lot of shitty things corporations do really quickly (assuming enforcement).
I think all those in the management chain should be held responsible. Maybe with a weighting of the proportion of those under them engaged in the criminal behaviour.
It should be treated as in the military, “I was just following orders” is not an excuse.
Making more than 10x the money of your least paid employee.
I get where you’re coming from, but I think you’d just see companies divide into tiers where one tier would subcontract to the tier below. Think “cleaning services companies” all the way down.
Simple : let’s make that illegal too
Well I don’t expect the exact phrasing of the code of law to be 11 words.
This.
