Good Post
For example, there are businesses closing left and right because of the child safety legislation regulating lead. I've heard that some books printed prior to 1980 will have to be destroyed. Those retailers specializing in ATV's for kids are being forced to assure that no part of the motorcycle has a significant lead content. Compliance with this law will cost the industry about one full year's revenue. Or in laymens terms, everyone go home...were' done here.
This is characteristic of hasty legislation.
