Also, health checks and security for the prostitutes helps a lot

That's not the goal. @Uksio

And then mafia takes over and does it their way, with 1000000 times markup

Excellent, working as intended.

They get rich while you are sitting there trying to prevent it

So?

Well, the mafia kidnapped girls and essentially ran a rape business

You still achieve your aims

No

Yes.

You make it fester elsewhere

Prostitution is probably one of the few areas where the free market works as intended

That is not the goal

The aim of a ban is to limit the supply, not *remove* it.

rip giorno giovanna

Limit / lower access to said item

You can't remove it

Because no prostitute can become a pseudo-monopoly

That's the thing

Prohibition didn't stop Speak-Easies, Weez

Exactly.

<:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

Yeah, and that fails

It limited the consumption

And the production

You can only pretend to remove it for useless virtue points

Which was the aim

Are you sure?

Except it didn't

Yep

Works for everything else as well

Because a lot of people made a LOT of money

Just made more people dead over it

So?

is it possible to regulate something so egregiously that you actually dissuade people from doing it entirely

They put up the price, making it harder for people to access it

<:thunk:462282216467333140>

Meaning less people were consuming it

weez is a proper materialistic capitalist see

I'm 99% sure they had shit coming in from Mexico
