It would also result in way less profits, so we'd need something truly incredible to happen to see it through.

That's one interesting way to say "government regulation".

Government regulation that results in the government having less money is truly incredible.

Examples are not particularly hard to come by: All government regulations to reduce smoking, all regulations to reduce petrol cars. All regulations to ban drugs. All of those aim to reduce the sale of some item the government could or does tax. I’m sure more can be found.
