Just tax it more.
Someone get this man into the White House!
I’d be a lefty dictator.
For the proletariat, right?!??
They would nickname me Robin Hood, prince of the guillotine
after warnings that it could push away some Black voters.
Just Biden and the DNC being casually racist and completely out of touch with Dem voters…
Again.
This…this is literally them listening to their voters?
They wanted to do something, and their voters said “we don’t like that”, so they stopped.
So many things to complain about this president, but this little story is good news if we want the president to listen to voters.
Could you explain?
I assume that they are a white conservative who has never talked with a Black person or they don’t know anything about US Black culture. In reality, menthols are super popular among Black smokers. I assume they think it’s a racial stereotype instead of reality.
I mean why ban JUST menthol cigarettes. Yes they’re not good for you. No cigarettes are. It seemed to be an odd move unless they are somehow out and away much worse. That and yes. Bans are often useless. Money would be better spent addressing the factors that make people want to smoke and provide better alternatives. It’d be cheaper and more effective. I think the only down side to it is a threat to corporate profits. Which is a good downside to have if you ask me.
Because change like this happens by degrees.
Funny how often these changes target minorities first and then go no further
