Government does that all the time. You pay for water from the water utility, but they also have restrictions on lawn watering during droughts. You can buy a car, but there are restrictions on who can drive it and under what circumstances. You can buy alcohol, but there are restrictions on when you can drink (drinking and driving, open container laws).
- cft 4y agoThat they already do it doesn't mean they should do more of it.

- krageon 4y agoIt's nice that they do it anyway, but I still don't appreciate it and I don't like it when they do it to more things. I'm not sure why "but they already do it!" should be an argument for liking it (or even tolerating it in novel circumstances). To me that sounds like stockholm syndrome.
