- pfdietz 2y agoGood news! You'll probably be able to get GLP-1 agonists in prison.
- snvzz 2y agoThere are legal ways to stop paying taxes in a country, such as moving elsewhere. It is a much safer assumption to make than tax evasion.
- Eumenes 2y agoYou're required to pay taxes to the US forever, unless you renounce your citizenship, which costs money too: https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2022/07/06/leave-us-pay-irs-taxes-forever https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertwood/2022/07/06/leave-us-...
- snvzz 2y agoRenouncing citizenship does cost money? Jesus. I am glad not to be a US citizen; I moved to Japan and very easily stopped paying taxes to my former country.

- rangestransform 2y agoIt’ll cost less than the effects of obesity Moral hazard has never been a good reason for any sort of regulation, the same principle can be used to justify not covering motorcycle riders, people who trad climb, people who do snow sports, people who jaywalk, people who work at a desk and drive everywhere, etc etc etc
- Eumenes 2y agoThats like your opinion man. I personally don't want to pay for gluttony via my tax dollars. I don't care about smokers, junkies, or gambling addicts. If people want to donate to some ozempic fund, by all means. And, motorcycles require special insurance, as does high-risk recreational sports like climbing. If you drive/commute to work, thats factored into your premiums. If you get hit by a car jaywalking, that is usually on you. Those examples have nothing to do with the prospect of tax-funded anti-fat pills.
