I got a letter from the People’s Republic of Kalifornia the other day. For some strange reason the state thinks I’m either a manufacturer or reseller of products containing plywood or particle board. But that’s not the really stupid part…
The purpose of the letter is to notify all manufacturers and retailers of a new law banning the use of certain types of plywood and particle board. Only specially approved and certified plywood and particle board can be used or imported. All manufacturers, importers and retailers of items containing plywood or particle board must keep records proving that all such items contain only this specially certified stuff. Additionally, the state can walk into any store or manufacturing facility at any time, without warrant, and demand to see proof of compliance.
What a load of &%#@!
Oh, and like far too many laws, this one was instituted by unelected – and unaccountable – bureaucrats.
