The social experiments are valuable. Who would say that smokers in pub-sitting nations of Ireland [1st ban in EU] or Czechia [last ban in EU] would recognise their preshaming of the smoking ban as silly, mostly approving of it now. [Czechia's pre-ban discussion would somehow dismiss other EU states' experience from after this 'restriction of personal freedoms'.]
Portugal showed that the cutting of supply of drugs which cuts the indignation and despair promotion [media fuel] was important. Sudhir Venkatesh studied gangs who live on drugs supply and found the culture with few hope. Even the bosses are not on average surviving 30. Yet somehow this shared despair finds its sustained culture. Pain culture. Is the war on drugs working? No, it just helps the gangs and the cops' bosses. The solution that dissolves gangs [helping their members yet primarily their customers] is to give drugs to the sick=needy like in Portugal. 2 decades ago scientists were ask to help Lisboa. Science said supply was important. If nobody wants the overpriced illegal drug, there is no gang, the supply of criminals withers away. For half the money saved on repression, the sick are treated and returned to society that so learns not to stigmatise. Success. I applaud Portugal. Likewise with the Scandinavian inmates, it is cheaper to help them than let the pain culture spoil them. Society then learns to let and not stigmatise them since after release they are improved, the know a trade and dignity. Something that most of EU prisons [nor elsewhere] never supply. I applaud pragmatic social penal practices. Likewise with migration. Pain supply matters. Criminals offer know-how creating a media bubble of hope abroad. By promoting local hopelessness, they encourage migration. Now an experiment is underway where Bagdad -Minsk corridore is open side stepping the smuggling mafia. Indignation rousing media (another pain niche) found out it is the Minsk dictator's reply to the sanctions. Bravo and thanks for the experiment. If it lasts, it will collapse the criminal supply of hope [false luck examples] abroad bubble. Emigration is about unknown, hope and future i.e. process of hearsay. Migration without this supply nudge might then stop on its own, especially if EU promotes pockets of hope [fake it to make it lies?} of luck examples in tradespeople of Iraq.. Scientists will find that for half the cost of repression and subsidies, Iraq can be helped to sustain its local hope, its future. I applaud Belarus, we need experiments. Does Sudhir break internet?
