if you don't like restrictions levied by an employer, you can quit and that employer can't tell you shit, can't do jack ('cept fill the position with some other jerk). Try that trick with 'government'.
I have a similar trick I do with government.

One of the more nasty restrictions of the government is, if you own and/or ingest a particular naturally-growing plant, the government will put you in a cage.

Yet despite this being the case, me and several of my friends have owned and ingested the plant, one dude for four decades, and none of them has ever been put in a cage. None of them is even the slightest bit concerned about this possibility.

It turns out that this is part of how the law works. Although law itself is often bizarre, the actual application of it is much more practical, and that is built in, in many ways.

If you get away with it, it is "legal" for you, in a weird practical sense.
