I understand the point but you don't design public policy for vibes, you design it for results. You can use incentives and disincentives, and you have to choose which one works best with the population you have to get the results you want.

Giving some incentive to the pop that already does the action you are optimizing for is pointless and a waste of money, maybe the discussion should be if instead of giving money to motorists they should have instead increased tolls, parking price, fees to enter the city, etc.

I mean, to be honest, you obviously don't need incentive. What would be the point of paying you.

I went back to the book and it says "It had long been the custom amongst the dragonlords of Valyria to wed brother to sister, to keep the bloodlines pure".

This is in the context of Aegon the Conqueror, so, yes it was already a practice before the Doom.

I like the part when they put the wafer in the puss and then LaVey tries and fails to awkwardly piss on stage

That's true, the incenst is only necessary to keep the dragon riding blood in the family, if most of the noble houses have dragon riding blood then it doesn't matter.

There is also the problem of the stillborn babies with dragon wings and scales.

Targaryens also were around for at least the same time, maybe more, because they were already considered an old house when Daenys foresaw the doom, and that was like 500 years before the game of thrones story
