1) It will add cost, and it won’t be paid for.

I am not an accountant, but I was always of the impression that revenue was essentially sales. That is to say, revenue represents money coming in, what people are giving you. It never meant what you were spending.

Every time I see one I can’t help but think: “they really…

Yeah, the crusade against drunk driving was the classic slippery slope of regulation. Driving at 0.2% BAC? Definitely impaired, with rare exceptions. Fine, let’s crack down on that. That made sense.
