It's called portion control,” Bloomberg said Sunday on CBS’s "Face the Nation." “It's a typical way that companies use to and governments use to explain to people what's in their interest and what isn't.”

“NYCers, why do you put up with this a**hole???”
I can only conclude that along with the media, a significant number of NY’er agree with Bloomie.
It must be a festering liberal swamp.

“We're not banning anything. It's called portion control,” Which is none of your business. Have some kids of your own and tell them how much to drink. Leave the rest of us alone.
To: Biggirl
Saw in TV about an hour ago that the ban is unlawful.

Yup, he isn’t banning anything especially when a judge struck it down . . .

It’s called people control and Bloomer is an a##hole!! Unbelievable how they plan “to appeal” the court. They “care” so much about people’s health that they’ll fight this decision. Un frikken real! The people that keep voting this doucebag in are in a stupid class all to themselves.
