Tortilla chip brand Paqui says it is voluntarily removing its ultra-spicy “One Chip Challenge” from shelves after a Massachusetts family claims their 14-year-old son may have died from complications from the challenge.
hmmm maybe we shouldnt let companies and people sell whatever the fuck they want
Yeah, it actually did help the world and the people a lot during the Prohibition period. Alcohol related health issues went significantly down and so did hospital visits for liver related issues. The problem was that enforcement wasn’t tough enough so that people still got away with it
Organized crime took over all major cities, the government started poisoning alcohol and people were drinking unregulated bathtub booze and ethanol and becoming blind at extreme rates. Completely off. The enforcement was so tough they were mass poisoning thousands of speakeasy goers.
There’s a reason no AES nation has banned alcohol but the fascist settler states all had a go
The issue was i’ll running of prohibition. Had better steps taken to ensure alcohol was removed (like slowly limiting it over time) then those issues may not have been as prevalent. The issue with organized crime may also have had to do with certain economic woes at the time
this time we’ll be good and only poison hundreds of people instead of thousands! please pay no attention to the alcohol cartels seizing total power, surely has nothing to do with giving them 100% of the market and artificially suppressing supply to ensure their superprofits
Communism is when we ban alcohol? What does implementing a new economic system have to do with banning alcohol, can you spell it out in more detail?
Communism has historically eradicated organized crime, Cuba has the lowest crime in all of latin america and basically no organized crime. How are you drawing that together with a half-baked idealist movement that resulted in unintended backlash and handing more power to cartels?

not to mention how incredibly easy alcohol is to make
How is what you are saying a different argument than saying that socialism doesn’t work because the USSR collapsed
i don’t see how that’s relevant or related at all
Because it’s the same fundamental logic

If something is a bad idea because it (some would argue) failed or collapsed once then wouldn’t that be an argument agaisnt socialism?
