That is not the goal

2019-09-23 22:41:29 UTC  

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

2019-09-23 22:41:33 UTC  

rip giorno giovanna

2019-09-23 22:41:39 UTC  

Limit / lower access to said item

2019-09-23 22:41:45 UTC  

You can't remove it

2019-09-23 22:41:47 UTC  

Because no prostitute can become a pseudo-monopoly

2019-09-23 22:41:48 UTC  

That's the thing

2019-09-23 22:41:50 UTC  

Prohibition didn't stop Speak-Easies, Weez

2019-09-23 22:41:51 UTC  

Exactly.

<:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

2019-09-23 22:41:53 UTC  

Yeah, and that fails

2019-09-23 22:42:01 UTC  

It limited the consumption

2019-09-23 22:42:03 UTC  

And the production

2019-09-23 22:42:03 UTC  

You can only pretend to remove it for useless virtue points

2019-09-23 22:42:08 UTC  

Which was the aim

2019-09-23 22:42:08 UTC  

Are you sure?

2019-09-23 22:42:10 UTC  

Except it didn't

2019-09-23 22:42:11 UTC  

Yep

2019-09-23 22:42:17 UTC  

Works for everything else as well

2019-09-23 22:42:18 UTC  

Because a lot of people made a LOT of money

2019-09-23 22:42:20 UTC  

Just made more people dead over it

2019-09-23 22:42:23 UTC  

So?

2019-09-23 22:42:28 UTC  

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

2019-09-23 22:42:36 UTC  

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

2019-09-23 22:42:40 UTC  

<:thunk:462282216467333140>

2019-09-23 22:42:44 UTC  

Meaning less people were consuming it

2019-09-23 22:42:45 UTC  

weez is a proper materialistic capitalist see

2019-09-23 22:42:48 UTC  

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

2019-09-23 22:42:49 UTC  

Meaning, it's still meeting its aims

2019-09-23 22:42:50 UTC  

Regulation is a real business stopper

2019-09-23 22:42:53 UTC  

Of lowering consumption / usage

2019-09-23 22:43:04 UTC  

It's like making abortion illegal; it won't stop people getting abortions, but it will make the method potentially unsafe

2019-09-23 22:43:04 UTC  

No,people will keep consuming it the same amount

2019-09-23 22:43:05 UTC  

Nobody comes to you like "psst, wanna try morphine?"

2019-09-23 22:43:08 UTC  

No one

2019-09-23 22:43:16 UTC  

so regulate prostitution with such incredible moralfaggotry that they all stop

2019-09-23 22:43:17 UTC  

got it

2019-09-23 22:43:22 UTC  

But the goverment gets no tax revenue

2019-09-23 22:43:29 UTC  

And people will die

2019-09-23 22:43:32 UTC  

So?
