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.

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
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
Meaning, it's still meeting its aims
Regulation is a real business stopper
Of lowering consumption / usage
It's like making abortion illegal; it won't stop people getting abortions, but it will make the method potentially unsafe
No,people will keep consuming it the same amount
Nobody comes to you like "psst, wanna try morphine?"
No one
so regulate prostitution with such incredible moralfaggotry that they all stop
got it
But the goverment gets no tax revenue
And people will die
So?
