    Yeah, I don’t see why tax collection would increase.

    The article mentions more selection, which is unambiguously good, and more locations which is good from a buyers perspective (although less so from a public health perspective). To be fair, it also mentions a lot of the jobs being minimum wage, but that seems like it has less to do with liquor and more to do with trends in the whole economy.

    I don’t know, it just doesn’t seem like something the private sector couldn’t do for any reason, so I’m unsurprised the sky didn’t fall, and the situation even improved in some respects.
