[fodguzwq] Shoot all the lawyers

The complexity of the law and regulations makes having a lawyer advantageous.

There seems perverse incentive to make the law as complex as possible, or, at least, no incentive to keep it simple.

The price of a lawyer gives an advantage to the wealthy.  The law being equal to all is false, in practice.

Consider shooting all the lawyers, or, more humanely, disbarring them and forbidding them from working in a law-related field (under penalty of execution by firing squad).

We may see the law being rewritten to give "bright lines", to lessen the complexity.

We may see a sudden demand for more new lawyers (it was a one-time culling), leading to the creation more law schools eventually increasing supply of lawyers and lowering the price.
