If only there were some other way to transport aid into Gaza. Maybe an existing pier or some kind of road. What a shame, I guess we’ll just have to spend another third of a billion on dragging the worlds most expensive artificial reef off the sea floor

They wouldn’t fight the landlords because a lot of them are landlords.

They would simply lobby to have the law repealed or, more likely, vetoed before passing. Failing that, they would exploit every loophole and edge case to take advantage of it and cry to lawmakers and voters that the law is the problem rather than their circumvention of it.

In Katana Zero at one point a villain offers you a chance to die before a progressive condition causes you to be permanently trapped experiencing a single infinitely long moment. Sounded like a good deal, took it, and never bothered to get any other ending.
