There was likely economic fallout many would call extensive when we mandated equal wages for minorities and an end to child labor, and yet businesses soldier on. Turns out, if you’re selling products people need, momentary disruptions and changing market conditions generally don’t mean you suddenly cannot conduct business.

> Think about product placement in movies or television, banners in big sporting events etc. Who'd pay for that? The state? With whose money?

One of sport fans biggest complaints is the overwhelming number of ads and the overbearing, bloated organizations behind pro tier sports. It seems like bankrupting a lot of them and letting teams return to public goods funded by municipalities would be a huge step forward into preserving sports as a social event, not a profit seeking venture.

And it’s not like pro sports aren’t already benefitting from taxpayers left and right. We could just get rid of the money men up top and let things settle where they may. Sure we may not get blockbuster sports events anymore, but maybe more people could then afford to actually attend?

> This would definitely hurt consumers.

Consumers LOATHE SaaS. They would cheer for it to be killed off.

> What about a political party publishing a newspaper and paying their staff?

I don’t see how that would run afoul of my definition?

So is the fallout from Trump's new tariffs, yet they still got done.

I don't think the government cares about economic fallout unless it affects billionaires, so you're right, advertising will never be banned because it would cut into the profits of the president's richest and most vocal supporters.
