I just read an article about our friends in the Sunshine State...
Apparently a group is lobbying to abolish the "No-Fault" divorce.
I understand that these people can see a potential utopia through their rainbow goggles...But...Come on!
Am I being extreme when I say that making it more difficult to divorce will severely affect the economy?
Think about it...
Fewer divorce lawyers employed...
Real estate agents and moving companies missing out on relocation assistance fees...
Childcare workers, out of work because both parents together can handle their kids.
Las Vegas tourism down, because fewer people are willing to hop on a plane for a fun-quickie-marriage-weekend.
Dating sites yielding fewer membership fees, because fewer people are single.
Restaurants & bars gaining less income from "Dates."
Gym memberships down...Why look hot if you hate your mate? Being out-of-shape is a great punishment.
Wedding planners, caterers, churches & other ceremony centers, bridal party attire providers, florists, printing centers and mobile DJs/Bands all feeling the heat...If it REALLY is forever...fewer people are going to take the plunge.
Therefore...
Lowering the divorce-rate is Anti-American.

We don't have divorce in the Philippines. Divorce has its own pros and cons. I hope I don't have to get one. :)
