Legal and Illegal is just another business.
What suits the government company is profit.
It's made legal to make money.
It's made illegal to fund themselves.
To tax and give themselves a job for policing or regulation by them only (as monopoly). All companies are a member of government (one of the first things people do by 'registering').
Little do those people care of much more as we still see today (it's on for doctors and bus drivers to work illegal hours (for free) dangerously.
And yes caring people are stupid / don't find more to do (like gardening the planet more or solving other abuses from when they were born and before)
