That's a rhetorical question. Of course it is. And this is exactly what everyone said was going to happen.
But this is just government trying to stick their fingers in every pie again, trying to make sure that they have full control and the final say over every single aspect of society. Because otherwise, how are they going to steal any money?
Idiots. 😡
