You're always posting **** which attributes X to Y, but it's always dubious attribution and often assumes a specific political viewpoint.
Sometimes liberal politicians want to nanny state the public and create stupid laws. But sometimes conservative politicans want to nanny state the public and create stupid laws too. And sometimes politicians just don't give a **** and pass stupid laws because nobody cares. And sometimes laws are just less stupid than they appear to be.
Taking the drop on the flop seems stupid if you assume at one point there was rake taken and drop replaced that. But if the history is that there was a per hand charge that was taken preflop, and then it was relaxed so that it was taken on the flop, it makes a lot more sense.
