Making something hard to get and turning it into a business is often the purpose of making it hard to get, all other rationalizations and excuses notwithstanding (don’t bother repeating them to me).
I used to say that we failed as a society to learn the lessons of Prohibition, but now I know better. Some people learned those lessons perfectly, and are playing us for all we’re worth.

Capitalism interprets regulation as damage and reroutes around it. (at increasingly higher prices with decreasing quality and availability)

It’s the NYPD. You know the expression “Set a thief to catch a thief”? For the NYPD, it’s their recruitment standard.

There were details on the cash payments, but less, much less, detail on the strippers and hookers involved here. Journalism these days – no wonder readership is declining.

Not that it matters.. but when they use the term “gun license”, they mean simple ownership.. not carrying one around.
Scary that to exercise a fundamental basic right, you have to grease palms as if you live in some banana republic.

You know that, we know that; but the writer is counting on their typical hoplophobic reader not knowing that.
