Goverment intervention: why we need it
I was diversifying my attention (avoiding writing on my business plan) at peopleofwalmart.com when I remembered the awesome news about a British woman getting kicked out of New Zealand for being too fat.
The story goes something like: A British specialist for submarine cables working in New Zealand applied for a Visa for his wife so they can stay together in New Zealand. At first the authorities were like: sure thing, you are a specialist, we like those people, and yes you can bring your wife. But in the moment they laid eyes on his gracious, sweet, sweet darling they were all like: “Holy F@#$! Hey, forget what we said. She is to fat! No way you can stay in this country, you have to find some other place to live!” True story.
The New Zealand government decided that due to health cost reasons new immigrants must pass a certain weight standard.
See I am all for that! Government regulation is the only way to tackle this tremendous problem I am facing whenever I am not in Japan.
Also I don’t see any reason why this should not be extended to other areas in life. Like:
- Accommodate the price of food to the weight of the person
- Regulate the price of clothing according to the hotness of the woman (the hotter she is, the more each square inch of clothing should be) + (make a Burqa mandatory once a certain standard of ugliness is met)
I actually worked on a formula* to determine the clothing price:
1 + (%of Facesymetry - BMI - estimated Age + ‰ expected men's alcohol level - 50)/100 * retail price
Obviously there is quit some improvement necessary, but you get the idea.
*this formula applies only to women above 21 years.
