Those of us who were smokers tried to warn the country about the food nazis coming for their junk food/beverages. I remember several people who denied that could ever happen. Now look, hundreds of millions of tax dollars were distributed (from smokers) and the states' social programs ballooned, and became "necessities." Same thing will happen with desserts and sweet drinks, for the children's sake of course, not to mention corn chips, potato chips, cheese curls, all the rest of the high salt snack foods.
Looks like the pending “Health” Bill is going to pass.
The caterwauling that’ll accompany its provisions will be something to behold. It will a lot of noise and fury, signifying nothing, though.
Unfortunately, the principle and precedent of Health Uber Alles is now deeply ingrained in our society and mindset.
Health has become the organizing and guiding principle of our land, archaic 18th Century notions of liberty and property be damned.
At least some of us will have a good laugh.
PS: When they banned smoking on airlines in the USA, the legistation was passed using reconciliation in Clinton’s first two years. Remember, that was when Hillary instituted a ban in the WH.
Yep. We preached about this very scenario for years. Looks like it’ll be playing out soon enough. Wonder how they’ll like it then?
