Prohibited was the ban of alcohol (yes, technical it was the limitation of alcohol, but the laws put in place made it impossible to legally get alcohol), and so a mass black market for alcohol was created. Moonshine, home made whiskey, the term bootlegger was made for someone who smuggled alcohol. The freeloaders were now the only people who had alcohol, and the government really didn’t like that, so they literally began poisoning alcohol to get people to stop drinking. Eventually, the government had to give up because they were loosing money just by banning alcohol. The freeloaders ensure that if something like alcohol is banned by the government, it will not stop people from enjoying it.
Didn’t know about the poisoning part, that is a nice bit of chilling info about how far governments will go to enforce something they think it’s right… no different than terrorists I guess…
Just like with video games, the people paying for it are what keeps the supply going for the freeloaders. They should grateful to them!
Ummm… no.
Freeloaders are only there because there is a product in the first place. If there was no product, freeloading off it wouldn’t exist.
Ever heard of prohibiton?
Yeah, so? Don’t really get the parallel?
