    This law doesn’t make sense when I thought being drunk and murdering someone accidentally gets you… well, a murder charge.

    The drunk driver won’t be working. They’ll be in jail for way longer than the child support period would last.

      In a weird way, it seems to only punish the rich. This law seems off brand from our ruling class, something fishy’s going on.
