In a car centric environment such as the US, there is a large burden society pays for when it comes to under age drunk driving. The harm from a car related fatality is felt immediately. It’s hard to compare that to the delayed and difficult to measure societal impact when kids play too much video games.
- danielheath 5y agoIt's delayed, and difficult to measure precisely, but there's a substantial cohort of people who cannot and may never be able to support themselves due to the combination of gaming all night and cultural expectations around hiring. Perhaps it would be free-er for the government to intervene and force everyone to have a different cultural expectation, but both are very substantial interferences.

- SV_BubbleTime 5y ago> government to intervene and force everyone Going to go ahead and recommend against those words in that order.
- Grimm1 5y agoDefinitely going to need you to back this one up, I’m highly skeptical of your claim.
