  • Abstract
    Engineers are familiar with the law of unintended consequences, which states “The actions of people-and especially of government-always have effects that are unanticipated or unintended” [1]. Just like Murphy´s law of “anything that can go wrong will go wrong, “ this is one of those laws we live with but didn´t learn in school. This is a story of unintended consequences that are being played out right now.
