dspencer,
You can "fix stupid". At least I used to. When I was working as a health inspector(30 years and now retired), I would issue citations to restaurant owners who would keep or allow animals on their premises and also state to their customers that they have every right to do so and they resented government interference. And,when push came to shove, the business would be closed and all the employees and owner would have to attend food handlers classes at the owner's expense. "Stupid fixed".
Tenants would call to complain about their landlords and the poor condition of their rental unit( leaky and drafty windows and doors, etc). Turns out the tenant was due in court the following week for non payment of rent and wanted to use the health department to find an excuse to justify this. Upon arrival to make my inspection of said premises, I find a pile of dog dropping on the carpeting of the living room and questioned the tenant about this after also expressing my disgust. Tenant said "what's the big deal?". "Stupid not fixed".
