Like you can ban cp because not very many people want it but imagine trying to ban cigs or porn

Its not economically better.

You are being obtuse

It's better if the money is in the economy of your country.

don't think so

just legalize loli

it will always be a fuzzy judgement call

Oof

*fuzzy*

When alcohol WAS banned it was STILL economic even though givimg money in exchange was illegal

Prohibition was bad of course

Why was prohibition bad?

But gives useful context for examining economics of transactions

Its not that you can't try prohibiting something in high demand its that you can't succeed in doing so

Even if no money imvolved

@Lucienne d'Anwyl fuzzy is something I call my untrimmed lady garden. You can't be fuzzy about economics.

Not without a super grid of cameras pluugged into an AI anyway

If you want to lower demand on something you eaise taxes tbh

Prohibiting sonething just makes it taboo

Looking past the fact that if something is in high demand it is probably not very bad

This gives it artifical value

then don't prohibit it, MA

Adds demand

Forbidden = scarcity = value

And behaviuors are the same

No you can make it legal and then use the suppression tatics on the market to reform the price's and re-evaluate budget spending based on the product, with the federal reserve.

Counter rascism WITH rasism?

Not a net positive

So banning doesnt work. It in fact does the opposite

@ManAnimal yes but like you said when the black market's are phased out then, you have fair distribution of wealth.

That is easy to see economicly

depends on the thing being banned, MA
