Is that what you think this it? Do you actually think this is unjust and oppressive? To me it looks like a government doing what it is designed to do: govern. AKA "conduct the policy, actions, and affairs of (a state, organization, or people)."
Perhaps you should describe to me the devastating consequences of this law, so that I may better understand your suffering.
- drdaeman 10y agoA proper balance is important, though. Let government regulate too much and things will get really bad. The problem is in defining what would be "too much" (and "too few"). Here, the opinions digress heavily.
- Retra 10y agoOh, of course. But this is a subject in where nobody gets hurt at all, and may even benefit some people.
- drdaeman 10y agoI'm not exactly sure this doesn't hurt anyone at all. On the contrary, I believe there is some impact - although it's most likely not any heavy, and benefits to the society in general may[1] easily outweight. I don't think businesses have those free refills out of pure generousity. There's most certainly some commercial incentive. Removing that must have some impact on businesses. And it must also impact people who don't have weight or blood sugar issues, and have benefited from free refills. Heck, if I'm a regular at McDonalds, drink to my heart's content and government suddenly says "we forbid you to do that anymore - oh just think of those obese people!" I may be understanding but still I'll be sort of upset. __ [1] May or may not. I dunno. Was there a proper scientific research?
