But please make it more readable and short please. This document is awful to read
Legalese is actually a good thing because it covers every possible situation and reduces the number of loopholes. We have people like LegalEagle to break shit down for us into plain English. If we write the laws themselves in plain English then corporate lawyers will argue, successfully, that there's a loophole that lets them violate the spirit of the law, or the government will apply the law in situations where it wasn't meant to be applied in order to fuck over innocent people.
In France we had something in our constitution once that ruled that trying to abuse the laws was prohibited and judges were instructed to apply the law in a fair way, not in the most technically correct way
