That enables for profit. If you can get only 0.5L of vodka legally, and I can get 0.5L that I don't want, I can buy it at market value, and sell it to you for profit. You will pay extra above the market because that's your only way to get it. And even if I had to pay to get it in the first place, because of rationing, I could get it at some market value

HistoryPhotos is for photographs (or, if it can be found, film) of the past, recent or distant! Give us a little snapshot of history!

Rules

  1. Be respectful and inclusive.
  2. No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
  3. Foster a continuous learning environment.
  4. No genocide or atrocity denialism.
  5. Photos MUST be at LEAST 10 years old, and ideally over 20. We appreciate that we are living through events which will become history, but this is ultimately not a comm for news or current affairs, but events which have occurred some time in the past.
