Nanny State: a government that acts like it needs to "take care of" its citizens as children (especially to protect them from their own choices)

subsidize: when the government helps to pay part of the cost of something, so it's cheaper for customers

Homework: find one or more examples of "stupid laws" from your country or another country you know about
"stupid" can mean a bad law that is too strict, or a law that doesn't make any sense
