You're just expressing the core problem of liberalism... If you write clear boundaries, inevitably people will seek to exploit the rules

That's the other 20%. Enforcement.

My rule didn't have such a loophole. You made one up, and in doing so broke it several times over. Every holding company has a revenue over the limit, and they're really all just one big company anyways

A liberal would scramble to adjust the rules while ceeding ground, because they defend ownership like it's a virtue

I would say fuck you, you know you not only broke the rules but tried to cheat them, so not only are your companies getting split you're losing all of them. Maybe jail time, maybe we just ban you from holding a corporate charter for life

The law is only what you enforce, we can't continue to have a legal system based on wordplay. It's a cultural issue we need to fix

continue to have a legal system based on wordplay

that's exactly what we're actually having today. i think the term for that is legalism, i.e. deciding what is right and what is wrong based on what is written in the law, without considering anything else like context or subjective opinion of the judge.

That's right, I'd argue we're even past that though... We're at a place where the supreme Court is humoring grammar based arguments to create constitutional powers never mentioned anywhere

It's honestly civilization ending
