They need to do this in the south to fight the beetus

>MUH SODAH
>HOW WILL I HAVE FIVE BOTTLES A DAY NOW!?

How much is the tax? Why would anyone willingly drink fizzy brown liquid that looks like it came from a public toilet?

You deserve nothing less

I dig it. Let fatties pay for their own medical costs.

they did this shit in chicago an got over turned

I bet Starbucks got an exemption

A case of soda costs $9.99
the tax is $7.56
The case of soda now costs $17.55

>t. brainlet

This raises overall market surplus if you consider the effects on the health economy

Coffee has no sugar when brewed. So probably.

>Amerifats mad that they can't drink their sugary cancer maker anymore
A nation 100% by (((them))). Amazing.

You guys do know that sugar reduces your testosterone levels? It essentially creates more soyboys.

didnt america had a war the last time a sugar tax was imposed?

>case of soda now costs $17.55
these are the sorts of laws that get lawmakers killed by angry mobs

...

the entire article is just this picture from twitter

yeah. we said fuck tea then too

Savages

Goddamn there was tea dumped in the harbor a few hundred years ago, we'll dump the soda too.

Will it's either this or pay for the fat asses that end up in the emergency room.

>But but but user! Just let them die!
That's never going to happen. They'll get care, go into debt, then die with debt. Then the cost falls on tax payers.

Move to middle America if you want to be a fat ass.

Actually I support that.

In fact they must start taxin sugar like alcohol and cigarettes, because sugar puts more strain on public heath and economy than both of those.

Cook county repealed their"penny per ounce" tax.

$1.75 tax per ounce

I am 100% okay with this

the type of sugar they put in soda is cancerous

San Francisco is basically babylon now because of the fags and the left

somebody needs to make a Boston Tea Party Amerimutt meme dumping soda in the harbor with a tri-corner hat on

>How to make a blackmarket via disguised prohibition

So basically now anyone who bother to fill a trailer with coke drink in the neighboring city will be able to sell it for twice the price in Seattle.

Yeah sure its gonna work, ffs why are dems city complete retard when it comes to management?

Jesus you sound like the kind of dumbnut who genuinely believe anti-tobacco law & higher taxes prevent peoples from smoking because it will cost ''too much'', protip they don't, either they'll just cope with the price or start to buy injuns cigs, which are 10x worse than the marketed ones. Fucking naive fucks

...

I would like to see a diet soda in this for the sake of irony.

>$0.0175 per ounce
ftfy

This doesn't even make sense in a country that hasn't got free healthcare. I can understand in Britain, government pays for your fat ass's medical costs, so it's in their interests to discourage you from being a fatass, but what's the logic in Burgerland?

One tax the right should support

There should be an artificial sweetener (aspartame, etc.) tax too; they are just as toxic to the body as sugar

>we need to ban weed because I don't like it
>we need to ban alcohol because I don't like it
>we need to ban video games because I don't like it
>we need to ban porn because I'm addicted and get a gf
>NO YOU CAN'T TAX MY SUGAR WATER

Poor people here get free healthcare.

im not gonna buy the soda that shit is expensive now

"milk based" drinks with sugar are suspiciously exempt...... almonds activated.

Based Costco

What about chocolate soy milk? Does soy get to identify as milk.

35 cans?
>6 pack
>12 pack
>24 case
35 cans? Why did they do that?

Government wants more money. The government has an insatiable appetite for money, but does not have a job. Therefore, it relies upon various scams, extortion, and armed robbery to generate the revenue it demands.

Welp, you fucks passed that law in thd first place, so fock off ir repell it.

Seven rows of five.

Because pallet dimensions.

5x7 rectangle

What part of leftism literature contains shit about sugary drinks? What do you even mean by leftism? You dolts sometimes constrain leftism to just identity politics (it's much broader and many leftists don't care about it), but sugary drinks is a new one.

In 1755. Nowadays, the bloated blue hairs bleet.

Oh it's already in place? The fatties must be furious

Someone who leans economically right would never tax soda.

Oh fuck off. You fat fucks are tanking our health care system and need to LOSE WEIGHT OR PAY UP.

Fucking fat shits. WEIGHT WAR NOW.

Zero complaints here. Probably the few things that libs are getting right. How can you niggers here whine about obesity and not be for this?

Taxing degenerate things is not leftist tho. A proper paleo-conservative regime would ban coke and burgers.

Yeah but look at the kind of drinks people order at Starbucks. I doubt most of them are even half coffee.

Really? You're so dumb that you need the government to literally price you out of buying something you already know is bad for you?
You can't decide how much is too much so you need the government to physically limit you by taking all of your money away from you when you do decide to drink it?

That is supposedly the idea. Make the cost so prohibitive that people give up on the product. Its all suppose to counter people becoming overweight and getting things like diabetes. The truth is its all a cash grab. They need revenue sources. They realize how popular soft drinks are and that people will still pay to get them. Slap on a tax and enjoy the new stream of money for pet projects.

I'll bet this can easily be called racist, considering the propensity to drink soda by blacks.

>Muh personal freedom. Please government force me to make healthy choices because you know better and are my fucking parents.
Fuck you commie faggot. The government will destroy your life too.

It's like the tobacco tax, and looking at Seattle's obesity rate, it might be necessary.

>The current state of Germany

Say hello to Merkel for us

That's it? Idk in AK even tho we don't have a sales tax pretty much everything costs more so that doesn't seem too unreasonable to me

There no logic, its just a front for their fraud to pass

You can be sure at 110% whoever pushing for this law is investing BIG TIME in either a drink that has the sugar quantity conveniently fall just under the limit, with of course the entire fucking local government promoting the entire thing as a sign that the law work properly and their management is effective or some very similar product, if not just furnishing the local black market with it.

Leland Yee comes to mind with shit like this.

I actually think this is a good idea in Canada because we have universal healthcare. We tax ciggarates for the same reason. Also should be illegal to push it on children or have it in schools.

Hitler would be fine with this in Nazi Germany

Lol this is the part that makes me laugh the most. Even sports drinks/literally any refrigerated drink that has sugar in it now costs 2x as much.

You liked flavored water, huh? TOO BAD 2X COST NOW. Fruit juice from concentrate? HAHAHAHA COST 2X.

Your only cheap choices now are water or coffee.

I remember when a case of domestic beer didn't cost much more than a case of soda. Now domestic beer costs 4x as much. So the market is just correcting itself. Nobody went all 1776 when the tax on alcohol and tobacco went up. People don't drink soda as much as they used to.

What is the problem?

I would prefer HFCS be made illegal in our country, and Monsanto execs be executed publicly, but this at least helps a little.

Washington would be great without King county senpai.

Leland Yee is a gook. Evil monkey. Incapable of having good intentions.

Wait does Sup Forums actually drink soft drinks? Are you fucking 11 years old and a retard? dont drink that trash you fucking moron.

I unironically support this. The soda jew is killing people.

Funny, I hardly buy sugary drinks so it doesn't bother me that much.

A right leaning individual would never leverage taxes so stupidly high on something like that.

Fat amerimutts whining about law makers making it harder to get fat.

I don't need the government to do that for me because I have self-control. Others don't and I don't want others to drink this shit so that I could subsidize their healthcare through Obamacare.

Ah... ok for now because I don't want to do math.

Could beverage companies use artificial sugars or chemicals to circumvent this? Or sell it as a supplement instead of a beverage?

Thats hilarious, you can practically see how that went down. "Sir, many of black neighborhoods only drink sugar chocolate strawberry milk - this law will deprive DeAndre of essential vitamins that he doesn't otherwise get from chicken wings". EXEMPT

What part of "the pursuit of happynis" don't you understand

this

>mfw 2nd American Revolution is triggered by taxes on sugary drinks
First the Boston Tea Party and now this, the San Francisco Sugar Sinking?

How many cans do you get in a case?

WTF are you talking about? Seattle is a fit city by American standards.

You have to say something funny and witty to banter Amerifat

ok just let us know the next time you need to divide one number into two numbers.

Sort of, its all communism. Once the state starts giving you "free healthcare" they need to strictly control what you eat and outlaw certain things. This will continue and expand in scope massively.

7x5 is easier to shelf and store than 6x6.

People have no self control on average. Normies will do anything without thinking

good. more taxes on cigarettes and alcohol should be next
people's bad decisions need to cost them up front

Good, maybe we won't have so many fat bitches

youtu.be/sv-0XjrBVT0?t=7

Punitive taxation is an excellent idea, frankly. Salty tears make it worth doing for soda, liquor and tobacco.

Haven't you taken your blackpill user? Turns out that the masses are retarded and do need a select few making the decisions

By the way, this Starbucks drink has as much sugar as 4 sodas but is not subject to the tax

The tax is charged per ounce. 1.75 cents per ounce.

7.56/0.0175/12=36

So does the tax exclude diet sodas as well, or is it just a blatant cash grab by the govt under the guise of improving public health?

...

>tax on sugarwater
>primary "victims" of tax: fatties
>tax disincentivizes fatties
>tax brings in revenue lost to treating fatties

Literally not a problem. You're not fat, so this doesn't really affect you, right OP?

I thought a case was a 24-pack

Problem?
