One might assume that since our government now says that healthcare is a right, they might also say that it's time to end tariffs that are demonstrably damaging our health.
- jerf 17y agoUnfortunately, that's going to require our government to step up and admit that they have been grotesquely and aggressively wrong about dietary issues for fifty years now. I'm watching the murmuring about taxing soda; I'll know they're just bullshitting us about the health angle if it taxes sodas with no sugar in them, too. (I've read the health evidence about mere carbonated water; it's a non-zero risk (mostly potential lower esophagus damage caused by excessive belching spreading stomach acid around) but minimal next to the risks of obesity.)
