Given that there are more fat blacks than whites, shouldn’t diet soda have a tax CREDIT? Shouldn’t they be sold tax free, to encourage poor overweight blacks to drink them?
Or is Seattle’s mayor trying to kill off blacks? Maybe he’s a closet racist!
Perhaps Seattle ought to buy Diet Cokes, and distribute them free in school lunches...
I’ve seen a chart posted here and there with welfare purchases and what percentage use it to buy soda.
