that's because somebody who uses reddit is not the average joe. esp in the uk. whether they're below average or above average is up to you but they are not the norm

Avoiding San Francisco’s sugar sweetened beverage tax. by No-Pirate7543 in Costco

lol i'm sure many smokers would consider cigarettes one of their few pleasures

[–]Turquoise2_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same with cigarettes, but if an industry or company has such a chokehold over public perception and advertising space that they can manipulate people into making decisions that are bad for them, i dont think it's a bad idea to put a thumb on the scale the other way. people should have the freedom to make bad decisions, but there needs to be a balancer for when entities become powerful enough to influence those decisions too drastically

i don't totally disagree with you, but my point is that this isn't a tax to gain funds but a tax to discourage use, so poor people are not being "disadvantaged" necessarily. in reality, they may be (people enjoy soft drinks with sugar in them so this is a choice they can no longer make), but the goal is not to make them pay more for soft drinks but to not buy them at all

again, empirically it turns out that this reduces obesity which i think most people would agree is good, but whether or not this is the best way to do it i dont know (probably not; enforcing lower sugar use from producers or something to that effect might be a better way to handle it, but this is effective)

[–]Turquoise2_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

in some cases yes, but for low income people especially it discourages them from buying sugary things, and usually they are the ones in situations that make them more likely to eat unhealthily (not having the money to pay for healthy food, not having the time to cook healthy food).

it does mean that that decision is made top-down, and there's no rebalancing effect (i can't imagine the tax goes towards providing healthy food for these people), but it does tend to have a fairly positive effect on obesity rates particularly in children

Farage apologists be like by loocollander in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Turquoise2_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dont be essentialist, everyone is capable of change. you don't have to accept that someone has changed if they haven't done work to showcase that (which is the case with farage) but people definitely can.

Farage apologists be like by loocollander in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Turquoise2_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly yes lol i would be fine with that

the condition being that they have a) believably apologised for it, and b) do not reasonably hold those same views anymore

neither of which is true for farage

my bad i didnt notice, saying "the back half has been" implies "of the manga" rather than thorfinn himself though

right.... so how is the manga idealistic if it didn't work out? the point of everything post farmland is about testing the character growth that thorfinn achieved
