If a society makes it more affordable to drink alcohol and smoke pot than own books, how does it expect to be an intelligent, well read, well informed, intellectually sharp and aware society?
It doesn't work this way! Use whatever strategy you can - tax breaks, economic incentives, paperbacks, low cost paper and printing, used books - to make it affordable for the average Joe and Jane to build their own book collections at home. And tax liquor hard to make it more expensive than books! A good book must become more affordable than that six pack of budweiser 😅!
And if you enjoy a drink once in a while, get together with your friends once a month or so and enjoy a couple of good quality drinks with smiles and laughter. That's quite enough 😅!
You say you want to unwind at the end of the day? Well, take a shower, have a glass of cool lemonade, spend quality time with your family, have a good meal, and pick up a book or your musical instrument or paint brush! It works better than drinking everyday (and you save your liver too 😅!).
Do you see what I'm saying?
