In simple terms:

America is overweight.
So some local governments are making extra large soda's illegal.

A. this does not address the issue.
B. it's a money grab when the governments can put a tax on it.
C. The government doesn't care about A, but they'll exploit anything to achieve B.


I got an automated phone survey.
Press 1 if you strongly agree, 5 if you strongly disagree. That sorta thing.

Questions went from how is trump doing, to "Is our government doing enough to stop global climate change?"

the question makes the assumption that we could stop it if we really tried.

But we can't.

If the pie chart shows SUV pollution to be a tiny fraction of the cause, then why bother with taxes and penalties and governmental protocols?

Address the problem, but be honest.
Show the exponential population on Algores hockey stick chart.
Show the third world countries using rivers as flush tanks for their trash.
Don't tax me because I used an additional carbon credit or some other asinine concept.

And don't, don't EVER, tell me it's "settled" when they don't even grasp the scope.

what does this have to do with Trump trying to eliminate The Press?

But seriously, wouldn't the local government make more on the taxes from large sodas purchased if they kept them legal?

Am I even still on the right three topic thread?

I thought Trump just wanted the press not to lie... 🤔

.... Currently the press (in general) spends more time verifying items they state as news than he does when he tweets or says something as if it were "fact".

Actually, I think their new slogan is 'Real News. Real Honest Opinion”

Thank God either way

Sorry if my metaphor confused some while insulting others.

Money is being spent by our government on programs that are likely to have only a negligible (or zero) affect.

I admit that weather people know more than I do about climate change, but they're not being as honest as I am and when I hear it's "settled" before valid concerns are address then it's very obvious that their agenda has formed their conclusions.
I find it despicable and those that believe there is nothing left to discuss because they read it in Time Magazine or the TV equivalent (take your pick) are ignorant enablers.
