I hope you're seeing the irony when discussing the difficulty of managing a very large country, by referencing 10 much smaller countries with their own systems of government.
- _-___________-_ 6y agoMaybe I misunderstood, but I didn’t see anything related to “managing a country” in the preceding discussion.
- bird_monster 6y agoLaws and the adherence to those laws generally fall into managing a country, no? So saying "But other countries did it!" with respect to something like prohibition doesn't really work, apples to apples. My point is simply that managing the enforcement of a law like prohibition is very different between 800m and 8m people.
- _-___________-_ 6y agoWhere did 800m come from? There are ~330m people in the USA. There are around 160m people in Bangladesh, 90% of whom are legally prohibited from purchasing or consuming alcohol without a prescription. The scale difference for this country alone is around 2x, not 10x like you're claiming. I'd argue 2x doesn't make much difference to enforcement.
