In this episode, Michael dives into the absurdity of a Douglas County ordinance requiring businesses to report shoplifting incidents within 96 hours, with no clear enforcement mechanism. The law's proponents argue it's a step towards reducing retail theft, but critics say it's a virtue signaling exercise with unintended consequences. Michael also touches on Colorado's Tax Expenditure Adjustment Bill, which could harm businesses by limiting tax relief and imposing new taxes. The discussion raises questions about the impact of regulations on small businesses and the state's competitiveness.
