Nobody cares about this and nothing will be done. But don’t you DARE go have a beer standing up at a bar! The government is 100% focused on stopping that.

There’s a name this: anarcho-tyranny. Criminals can run wild with no punishment. Law abiding citizens are forced to comply with an endlessly growing list of arbitrary and mostly useless rules.
