@strypey What author and work are you citing? I'll give it a read, maybe.

@strypey I mean, true, in that no govt can make 100% of its constituents act lawfully/legally 100% of the time.

@strypey I would say the people have thoroughly complied by voting yes for govt regulation of alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis.

@strypey humans can't achieve perfection nor should they aim for it. Policing is all about the threat. If a class of rule breaker or criminal finds the threats of GovCo toothless, that class of rulebreaker or criminal will proliferate with new actors
