 You know what? You can't use the excuse that there are too many laws to protect yourself, because the law says you're required to know the law.

 Each year, more than 300 new laws are passed in the USA. In the European Union, at least 100 laws are passed annually. It would take more than a full-time job to analyze and understand each of these laws in order to truly 'know the law'.

 *Interesting reading: “The Death of Common Sense: How Law Is Suffocating America” by Philip K. Howard. In this book, Howard explores how the increasing complexity of laws and regulations has made society harder to navigate. He argues that the law has become so bloated that even lawyers and lawmakers cannot keep up with it.*

 - In Australia, it’s illegal to walk on the right side of the sidewalk. In many places, pedestrians just walk on whichever side is most convenient. But in some parts of Australia, you’re legally required to walk on the left side. So, if you happen to walk on the right side, you could technically be breaking the law.

 Most of these laws are outdated and should have been repealed a long time ago. So, we can logically ask: why are these laws still in effect? Is it really that difficult to abolish a law? I don't think so, especially when it seems easy to vote in thousands of new laws each year. Perhaps governments keep these laws on the books in order to use them against people when needed. Maybe these laws aren’t repealed because they serve to maintain control over the population—ensuring that anyone can be turned into a criminal when necessary.

He argues that the average American unknowingly commits several felonies a day, simply because laws are so expansive.*

 Context: The political climate and public opinion lead to major changes in immigration laws. For example, during periods of economic hardship, governments may pass immigration laws that limit the influx of foreign workers. In contrast, during times of labor shortages, restrictions are eased to attract more foreign workers.

 On another note, some large companies, like Apple, do not have to pay taxes in Ireland, while smaller businesses are required to. The Irish government argues that this policy was implemented to create jobs in Cork. However, even though it has led to job creation, individuals and small businesses are left to bear the cost of what Apple doesn't pay. 
 
 One might think that the Irish government has no interest in allowing such large companies to avoid paying taxes. However, at the end of the day, it’s all about tax competition. By offering lower taxes and attracting big companies, Ireland remains economically competitive. Additionally, politicians gain support from the public and investors by drawing high-profile companies that can boost the economy and generate media attention. In making these decisions, the impact on small businesses and individuals is often overlooked.
