Right but alternative is making people pay for stupidity of some randoms. I don't have problems with socialized healthcare, it's mostly not person's fault they happened to have worse health than others, but this is just compounded effect of multiple stupid decisions in a row
- lotsofpulp 4y ago> it's mostly not person's fault they happened to have worse health than others How can one come to this conclusion given the trends in people’s weights?
- gambiting 4y agoHow can you not, knowing how corporations literally spend billions of dollars a year to make sure people consume whatever unhealthy thing they are making this year? Like, yeah, it's my personal fault for drinking that can of coke, but let's not pretend that billions that Coca-Cola corporation spends on ads and marketing had absolutely nothing to do with it either.
- newaccount74 4y agoMost people (except Christian Bale) don't make a conscious decision to become overweight. As far as I know, there isn't even a consensus why people are getting bigger every decade.
- paulcole 4y ago> it's mostly not person's fault they happened to have worse health than others Cigarettes come to mind. You’re fine with penalizing this guy $300,000 for doing something stupid and penalizing society hundreds of millions of dollars for the maliciousness of RJR Nabisco, Philip Morris, etc.
