ie: I only worry about staying afloat, keeping my crew safe and getting us where we're headed.



I've got a serious problem with that because I'm fed up being penalized for the bad decisions
that other people make.

Why am I constantly having to pay extra because I'm successful? Why am I expected to help fix someone
else's mistakes?

After all, I make poor choices all the time and I never go crying and asking others to fix
my screw ups for me!
I don't think you read (or understood) a word of what Klen and I were discussing. namely a strategy to build healthier North American societies where y'all currently have overweight kids with type 2 diabetes

no tax increases for you unless you'd rather eat cheetos and bologna instead of say, an orange or a salad or a nice lean chicken breast. in our plan the latter would actually be subsidized by a tax on crap food

s'all good though. good luck in your future dealings with fat or Black people, know it must be difficult for you
