"Public comment period" is just a sick farce.
The proponent is already rejecting arguments against it...and the Board is expected to approve no matter what.
No, seriously, ____ you, Bloomberg. No, I mean it. ____ you. _____ no good for nothing ______ ________, _____ you. You piece of ______, ____ing dry up and _____ off. _____ing lousy son of a ______ _____ ________ _____ing ______ _________er.
Oh, and ____ you.
what next? the foot long hot dog? That’s a lot of wiener!
“Bloomberg said that the proposal was aimed towards the city’s poorer residents who may not have a sophisticated understanding of nutrition. He insisted that the measure is not targeted towards big soda companies like PepsiCo and Coca-Cola.”
So because they’re poor they’re stupid? Wow.. that’s elitism at it’s most brazen
Ohhh....it’s election year and the food companies aren’t ponying-up enough Democrat campaign cash.
The lunatic Bloomberg has more issues with ‘’health and safety’’ in the fact that huge rats infest every corner of his city. Instead of tackling real issues, the moron offers up feelgood crap to appease the radical nyc fringes.
Rival gangs will fight each other for turf rights to sell illegal 20 ounce cokes.
Black market factories will spring up in abandoned warehouses producing the product. Workers will be forced a gunpoint to put duct tape over their mouth to prevent them from drinking the product.
Welfare moms will abandon their babies to drink the product in seedy apartment buildings taken over by the criminal element.
New Coke City, baby.
Disgusting. That’s what these freakazoids always do: have a “board” that gives legitimacy to their actions and makes the public believe the fiction of “public input.”
The only thing good about the idiot Bloomberg is that so far he has stood behind the stop and frisk policy. But this stupid stuff is making NYC feel like a police state.
I grew up on the Upper West Side, lived in NYC most of my life (with some periods on the West Coast) and moved to Florida a few years ago, not for retirement but for personal reasons. I go back to New York a few times a year, and when I was there last week, for some reason it really struck me that Bloomberg has made people doing perfectly innocent things (smoking on a park bench, for example) feel like criminals and feel that the entire government apparatus is focused on them. It was very creepy and I didn’t feel free or comfortable at all.
I dislike looking at obese people. I try not to be rude but in all honesty, it grosses me out. I rarely drink any soda and I never buy those huge drinks. But if there is one thing I hate above all else, it’s nazis. I hate this mayor and the precedent these nazis are setting. This is not “Nanny State”. It is a police state. With enough crying your dad will eventually fire the nanny. The nanny has limited powers. The nanny cannot lock you up. It’s only a matter of time now.
No!..you're leading the way directly to communism and bypassing socialism!......Jeez..the size of a soda..what's next the size of a pork-chop?
Mike, really, is New York City such a sylvan paradise that you and the municipal government have nothing better to do than ban the Big Gulp? Really? Is that your final answer?
That's some pretty whacked out thinking.
