How many jobs would be lost if this would happen ? ? ?


Illegal drugs stopped === less police force needed

People no longer overweight === less need for drugs for heart problems,
all food production reduced,farmers loose crops sales, reducing hospital personal

Now more smoking, or chewing tobacco === farmers loose crops sales,
tobacco industry shuts down

Alcohol consumption stopped === reduced delivery truck drivers, bars and clubs closed

Now more guns === all production stopped, all store sales people laid off

No more meat consumption === all Meat producers loose, farmers stop raising livestock.
Auction houses, and slaughter houses close,

Now more delivered letters === postal people laid off

All coal production stopped === no more deep mines or strip mines,
heavy equipment producers and sellers, loose personal

Not to mention may more dislikes.



Every one of these titles has many people who want these things stopped,
and everyone of the millions of people who work in these types of jobs
will be laid off. ...


Where are you going to put them ? ? ?

The biggest hit to the economy would be allowing the many cures for cancer to go live. Have you ever noticed when there's news on the horizon of a possible cure, the story suddenly goes quiet and the scientist is never heard from again?

Hey, you left out war.

That is why when I found the cure for cancer I did not tell anyone about it.
