That's a good idea. And they should make the Federal law more simple so that business people can understand it. Some of these people who write laws seem to have lost all their common sense and reasonableness. Some of the case decisions I have read are even worse in that regard.

These lawyers, though, are basically ambulance chasers of the 2000s and 2010s. Very predatory it looked like.
