I’d rather the government not criminalize or control anything it’s none of their damn business.

Years ago I read of an account of Japanese soldiers killing themselves after losing a battle. The suicides became so prolific that the Emperor had to strictly forbid the practice. You see, having soldiers kill themselves needlessly hurt their war effort.

I would argue that soldiers killing themselves was very much the business of a Government that needed them.

I think members of society are also needed. A government can tolerate some doing it, but at some point when it reaches a critical threshold, a government cannot survive if people keep doing it.

I do not believe that I am an “economic unit” which is just a euphemism for a slave. I cannot stand being paid w2 because the government gets MY money before I do. I don’t owe the federal or any state government shit unless I am using a public service, utility, or goods and then I am fine paying a toll or fee.

The only business government should be in is national defense, law enforcement, and public works such as highways, dams, etc. anything else is theft and coercion.
