- elijahbenizzy 3y agoBanning things, adding taxes for things, providing incentives are all tools we have to manage externalities. We generally have a budget for how many restrictions we can impose, and we've banned plenty of things (such as slavery). Obviously we don't just go on a banning spree, but the argument that "banning is bad, America doesn't do it" is, IMO, not realistic or how our country has always operated.
