This argument is ironic right? No one is seriously saying the tobacco companies got overly punished

Sometimes traditional industries just need to be crushed and obliterated and the tobacco business is one of them. Once they are dead and buried maybe people can grow tobacco in their backyards for personal use if they really want to.

Stereotype posted:I know it's a weird opinion, but yeah tobacco got politically railroaded hard without a ton of evidence that it is worse than equally common things like living next to a highway. Having worked on the actuarial and underwriting side at a life insurance company, seeing someone argue that smoking isn't all that bad for you is pretty funny.

ComradeCosmobot posted:By literally rules lawyering on the fact that Congress didn't explicitly say "barriers to public or private infrastructure investment" the 6th Circuit claimed that the statement was unclear enough to justify declaring the laws presumably valid. Thanks for bringing this up. It seemed like far and away the shakiest part of the majority's opinion when I read through as EwokEntourage requested. It reads like something a child might try: "Go clean your room" "You didn't specify whether I had to clean my desk and/or the floor, so technically by cleaning my desk I did what you asked". If appealed to the Supreme Court, I have to imagine that this is what the arguments will focus on, because it seemed pulled out of the air for the sole purpose of ruling in favor of the telcos. I suppose this is what Antonin Scalia must have felt like when reading the opinions that progressively legalized same-sex marriage.

Hillary Clinton’s completely unfounded claim that Russia was behind the passing to WikiLeaks of Democratic National Committee documents was breathtakingly cynical. It was a successful ploy in that it gave her supporters, particularly those dominating mainstream media, something else to focus on other than the fact that the DNC had been busily fixing the primaries for Hillary. It was however grossly irresponsible – an accusation that a US Secretary of State would hesitate to make in public even at the height of the Cold War. It raises further the tensions between the World’s two largest nuclear armed powers, and plays into the mood of rampant Russophobia which we are seeing whipped up daily in the press. With the Ukraine and Syria as points of major tension, to throw such an accusation wildly in defence of her own political ambitions, shows precisely why Hillary should never be US President. This is all the more true as not only did Hillary have no evidence of Russian involvement, she almost certainly knows the allegation is completely baseless. Which brings me to the curious murder of Seth Rich, the DNC staffer killed by an armed street robber who left Rich’s gun, watch, cash and wallet. WikiLeaks have offered an award of US $20,000 for information on his assassination. This does not indicate that it was Rich who leaked the emails. It does indicate that WikiLeaks are aware of profound shenanigans involving the Hillary campaign, and are putting effort and resources into piecing together the picture.

I'm just arguing for laughs but The Cato Institute actually has an article about how cigarettes aren't really that bad for you Any actual libertarians basically have to argue that tobacco industries were punished unjustly and that warning labels and extra taxes on cigarettes and non-smoking areas are an enormous government overreach.

"Mr Pence, it's a proven fact that smoking is a million times more likely to kill me than terrorism, are you saying that since the levels of risk associated with smoking are neglibile, that the war on terror is a waste of money and time?"

socialsecurity posted:You do understand our entire way of life and society is based around cars? So comparing them to your cigarettes is a lovely metaphor. It's an apt comparison if your life revolves around drugs, perhaps someone unironically advocating for "all drugs should be legal" might have an agenda there. On cigarettes, I'm not sure why it's so hard to understand that inhaling poison is somehow bad for you, but for some reason(bribery) some government officials just won't let it go.

Pence is dumb enough to be a true believer, so probably the kickbacks are just icing on the cake to him It's a shame that Trump has been Trumping around nonstop lately because I was looking forward to some really shameful displays on the part of my dumb Governor. "Dopey VP of apologies" doesn't do justice to how bad the man is
