A government monopoly would be stupid if you suggested it as a new thing. But what we have now generates revenue, operates responsibly, keeps prices down (and uniform!), offers great selection and okay jobs. All these benefits are lost by going to privatized alcohol sales.

In eight years of heavy volunteering, I never saw one of them do anything like crowd control or conflict resolution or intervention. I did have to bring them lunches and refreshments. Nobody has ever accused all firemen of being bastards.

It's been a long time since I had any involvement, but in the past TPS decided how many cops they wanted and where/when they'd be posted, and Pride or the City would just have to pay whatever they asked. I doubt that's changed.
