affects the people who surround you your your making people on healthy when you smiled because they have been held the some the smoke from your cigarette that's not the same with sugary drinks if you sit next to someone who is at least avenue that's second-hand fat and i i'm a are not going to gain weight some sitting next to somebody i think i mean that you're coming from a place where this is personal to you because you like sherry drinks and you're not overly it is like a bit it's not like you can get pretty two answers that's out there under this success i think they're much though that i'm against the the ban it's is more so that i think this is just bloomberg finding a way to addressing issue inouye where you can say oh look i tackled that issue but here's what i get to the real uh... underlying cause of the prop of the problem and that's poor people can afford healthy food well in fairness he if he did encourage boat a 'cause to have fresh fruit like the food desert settings is to new york hit that has been a part of his policy i mean just in fairness to bloomberg because emmy and also just it disclaimer furry one thing the bloomberg does that i liked the dust to things that make me crazy periodically goes in and say that in fairness to bloomberg is the first how much i felt me ninety nine a lot that night i agree with the i'd read that there are there are so if there's a myriad issues i think this is a great start i think that like actually going after like should empty calories and saint look over sixteen ounces is ridiculous come on it really is let me let them go to the smoking analogy though because your off-base with that as so i think there are because you're right in the immediate circumstances somebody smoking that still has a much more media f-actin somebody tricking asoto the treat you got suspended discussed in the water street instance in terms of long-term health consequences that that person has and overall train on the system that definitely does affect us reply group what you're saying more broadly that obviously their fundamental issues here that bloomberg is a great on but there's no doubt that other people's dietary habits what they do with the help of the fact that overall health system on spending on emergency room visits and on airplane safety so i mean i think there's no doubt you have to look at a moral premise was a very that there is a very good point of view map had been overlooked but i mean you mentioned that others are wonderful and i mean is is there any better uh... model for income inequality other than it had an and bloomberg's refuses to address that issue anthony that is the main issue i mean that is why people are unhealthy because they cannot afford other options because they're their food insecurity right well at like i said this is not a cure all and i don't think that like it's either or tether thing like we can't bansode azo over sixteen ounces and then we also can't make sure the people have to help the film definitely not you know i mean i i don't think it's an either or ted i think that i all that but i think that that when it comes to public policy and when it comes to like how we want that what we want the government to do for us i think disincentive ising uh... bad behavior that ultimately affects all of us is what like like i said harm reduction i think that's it's it's a very reasonable policy i don't think that anyone is adversely affected this is what i i i disagree with that somehow the small business owners right now but get them up on the cross here that they are somehow and i also heard this on the news which would which mainly laugh of it's not only small business owners it's not business owners and minority business owners that they are going to be adversely affected that day their bottom line is going to be affected by this and that's what i think is is is completely ron and just kind of silly my my main issue if it is just that i do i think this is bloomberg's way l wiping his hands clean saying look my administration did something well but that's what happens every time a at politician does anything to add you have a la jolla we did not aliens and he writes tama record who doesn't say that we did something is up on the who liked actually dust-up and they never see brings it up again and we all are sector going war what the wired to republicans able to say that he it that he be lee crease the deficit and mikey increasingly when what he did was he got wars on the books why doesn't he bring that up magical actually does things and then you just never mentions them again and i can let his critics kind of shape a narrative bloomberg us until i can say that was an amazing segue into montana after i found out they are not that i was just i was about he's like a good if we don't think i was separated something into our next story that would be nice for other laptop transient dot that we do that and actually the has its own thank you thank you for getting me credit where credit was not do house again to low i_q_ acted mediation answer you as a bomb of police please do it pretty rough camera so i actually building art recorder ucla uh... uh... trial had to do that uh... not for fun forty two cell uh... with regard to the post was that in contrast to previous administrations we did not put uh... uh... contingency spending uh... on the book bella told me that i believe without mayor bloomberg school but i'm open to the idea colossal action all the open to the ideas for washed working americans i will take session molina to bring roaster
