Repugnancy costs

Repugnancy costs are cost that you have to pay when you do things that are against the law. They are costs that you pay because doing something illegal or otherwise bad is not allowed. For example, if you break a law and get fined, that would be a repugnancy cost. It is like when your parents tell you that you can't do something and you have to pay a consequence if you do it anyway.
