A logger is arrested for trying to cut down a tree in case it may be offensive to Muslims or other religious groups not consulted in the felling license.
He is also fined a $100 as his chainsaw is in breach of Health & Safety legislation as it deemed too dangerous and could cut something. He protests and is taken to court and fined another $100 because he is such an easy target. When he is released he returns to find Gypsies have cut down half his wood to build a camp on his land. He tries to throw them off but is arrested, prosecuted for harassing an ethnic minority, imprisoned and fined a further $100.While he is in jail the Gypsies cut down the rest of his wood and sell it on the black market for $100 cash. They also have a BBQ of squirrel and pheasant and depart leaving behind several tons of rubbish and asbestos sheeting. The forester on release is warned that failure to clear the fly tipped rubbish immediately at his own cost is an offence. He complains and is arrested for environmental pollution, breach of the peace and invoiced $12,000 plus tax for safe disposal costs by a regulated government contractor.
Your assignment: How many times is the logger going to have to be arrested and fined before he realizes that he is never going to make $20 profit by hard work, give up, sign onto the dole and live off the state for the rest of his life?
