When Jospeh Heller wrote Catch-22 fifty years ago it was a satire. I maintain that it has morphed into the greatest management text ever written. The antics of legislators in California and Massachusetts prove that I’m right.
Those zany liberals are at it again. California is about to implement a law that will outlaw pork products in the state. Pork producers located outside of California who comply with the law in their locality cannot sell their product in California, unless they meet California law. My question is why would a producer incur the added expense?
I see two possibilities. Some producers will stop serving the California market. The second possibility is the opening of new commercial opportunities, with two variations. One is opening BACON superstores just over the state line in Arizona, Nevada and Oregon. The second is a whole new occupation, bacon smuggler.

Massachusetts legislators not to be out done said:
Massachusetts has banned the sale of eggs, unless producers comply with Massachusetts requirements for chicken welfare. Massachusetts has already experienced cross Stateline junkets to avoid paying taxes. Massholes regularly cross into New Hampshire to buy booze and big-ticket consumer items in order to avoid paying Massachusetts sales and excise taxes.
I support both California and Massachusetts in their endeavors. Let the bastards starve!
