That seems dumb. I share an apartment with a friend, which is getting more and more common in this housing market. Would this law mean we’d be married even though we’re just friends or does it only apply to men and women living together (and does that mean that 2 people of different sex cannot live together as friends without accidentally getting married?)

Nothing says ‘I love you’ like a legally binding contract.

There are also a shitload more humans now. Even if number of horses per capita is lower, the fact that there are more people may compensate for that.

Well, if he wants to follow that logic: Tesla’s CEO didn’t make billions of dollars, his workers did.
