Your Government Sucks At Everything - And Hates Alcohol As Much As It Hates You

Seriously...

The proof that price controls fail is EVERYWHERE!

But PA and NC just ignore it and pretend they are making things better even as their citizens cross the border to states that don't fuck everything up:

Your Government Is Disgusting In Its Hypocrisy
