@65078e98 If you are trying to argue the point that sometimes company sell things in a way that is immoral and dishonest and even dangerous and addictive... then sure that isnt a point i am trying to disagree with. @134318c2
@b05df304 @65078e98 @134318c2 You seem to be saying that we better create laws and regulations that make it financially unwise to sell dangerous and addictive substances. Otherwise there is little impediment. Which was kind of the original point.
@7c15cae2 No not necceseraly what i was saying no. But it is true that if you make something unprofitable by making it illegal then it is not likely to be sold by large companies since it wouldnt be profitable. But that isnt the only way to make something unprofitable. So I wasnt necessarily suggesting that as the only course of action. @65078e98 @134318c2
