Saying marches change nothing is hyperbolic as well.

Ew, gross!

What… What else would I do with it?

Huh. Didn’t know that. Yeah we have these in New York.

Both of these look like hair of the dog to me

This is completely broken anywhere outside the US. I’m thinking the author knows this, but if he acknowledges it, his entire point about it being easy to implement goes away.
