I was walking along Southbanks today, and I came to a bit where the floor was laid out like astro-turf, rather than pavement. I turned to my friend and said, "this is awesome - why can't all pavements be replaced with astro-turf?" - he replied with "well, it would be tough to get gum out of it". The conversation progressed:

"Why can't we ban gum then?"

"Because then there would be a black market of people selling gum"

"Couldn't we employ people to specifically track and arrest these gum-selling people?"

"You'd probably need a lot of them"

"THAT'S IT! Lots of people. LOTS of employment! Not to mention the money we'd make through fines etc.! Not to mention, we'd have astro-turf lined pavements all over the country"

 

Well? Could something as simple as banning chewing gum help solve the economic crisis?
