Secret gyms and the economics of prohibition
Unlike actual prohibition, the social agreement behind &quot;lockdowns&quot; is subject to time contingencies. The activities considered &quot;essential&quot; grow as time passes. While there are nominal categories of &quot;essential&quot; defined by community&#x2F;political leaders, that contract depends on agreement. Since each person&#x27;s conception of &quot;essential&quot; is different, as time passes &quot;essential&quot; grows exponentially instead of linearly.
