So, eating at home is somehow bad, now? Making your own food from ingredients from the grocery store?

And I should pay more because we don't need a car, and don't sweat paying a cabbie maybe $30 a month to help us shift heavy loads of groceries? (We live about a five minute walk from my husband's work. Paying mandatory jokesurance would be a total waste of money).

Maybe I should be punished for being able to save money after quitting smoking, too, because gee, all of a sudden you're worried about the poor tobacco farmers?

I really hope this idea does not spread out of Germ-any.

The American Left is sweating in lust over the idea of taxing people who aren't doing things they want to, it can easily spread here.

Its why their go to response to any "unhealthy" thing is to just over tax it so you can't afford it. They keep getting pushback on soda, but the cigarette one literally traps people in poverty for no reason other than "punish them worse!"

I can attest to that, Wales and scotland have introduced a minimum price per unit on alcohol, not that it bothers me over much, I brew my own, so fuck you Mark Drakeford, and as it happens in voting against in may when the senedd elections happen so fuck you twice now I think on it

Self sufficiency is bad because it means fewer economic transactions by the individual, which means financial institutions have fewer instances from which they can pinch half a penny from. Multiply that by millions of individuals doing thousands of transactions and that adds up to billions that economic middlemen like themselves could be pinching.

I'm just flabbergasted that eating at restaurants has gone from a "once in a while treat" to "an everyday thing that people actually rely on because they can't cook/think being able to cook is the oddball thing to do."

Christ, I was worrying about my ability to ply a survivlist trade should The Collapse come while I still have to inhabit a human body, but I realized I already have one or two, because none of these modern primate moo-cows understand fire, or would know how to use it to avoid dying of food poisoning.
