You are slightly independent. Your children are teenagers (or you decided not to inflict on the World further brainwashed life) and life is starting to become bearable.
You, of course, still work for the useless (Civil servants, lazy bastards etc.) via tax but your business is good. Your life is comfortable.
You’re sitting in the sun, sipping on a cold drink, contemplating your navel – and your new, temporary swimming pool your friends and their teenage kids enjoy so much on BBQ day/nights.
As you sit there the peace and quiet is disturbed by a new neighbour moving in to your cul-de-sac.
The new neighbour is a single female with four, multi-coloured children, all under six. You (your taxes) are responsible for and support this “family”.
The rules say that each morning you must pick up these children, take them safely to child-care, kindergarten or primary school (whether they want to or not), you must pick them up from said activities at the appropriate time and deliver them back home.
After ensuring that food, beverage and entertainment is available for them you may return home, sit in the sun and guard the swimming pool against incursion of the afore mentioned children.
At least that’s what the Water Safety Council demands.
They want to ban above ground (temporary) swimming pools because, once every two years, someone drowns in one.
That someone is, invariably, an unattended toddler. Note the "unattended".
The Water Safety Council demands that YOU are responsible for that toddler!
