Just because it’s not perfect doesn’t mean it’s not good or can’t be productive. But I have to also think of all the ways prohibitions have failed.

Possibly, trying to find ways to make government officials less susceptible to outside influence in non traditional ways. Or, in the case of police, paying much better than minimum wage. Where I am, I think they make something like 42,000/yr.

Or maybe they just all need some meditation practice? Some mindfulness and maybe they won’t think they need to soak up so much money.
