Mandated anti-social distancing and liquor prohibition had the same mother. The germ of a good idea, untested by its competitors, was given the levers of power. What follows is natural law, here quoting Wretchard the Cat:
To a great extent the bureaucratic empires performed as designed. They used the crises to capture budget increases and inflate their power while carefully avoiding anything politically incorrect.
People will gather and drink together, party and pray together, fall in love and play bridge together. If they are offside the law, then it is government that is on the wrong side.
"Blue-state politicians failed to learn the lessons of America’s failed experiment with liquor prohibition a century ago: Banning normal economic and social activity creates a black market."
