Jup, Kinder bekommen dadurch auch die gleich die Botschaft mit, dass der süße Alkohol eine Leckerei ist.

Das ist noch ein Argument, das aus dem Kassenbereich zu verbannen. Zur Diebstahlprävention könnte die Ware auch weniger griffbereit und weniger verführerisch platziert werden.

Ein erster Schritt wäre, mal die Schnapsflaschen aus dem Süßigkeitenregal an der Kasse zu verbannen. Hochprozentiges wird hier behandelt wie Schokoriegel und Kaugummi, etwas, dass man sich mal eben so nebenbei reinzieht.

Prora is active today with hotels and restaurants.

Given the way he wrote his emails, yes.

Played stupid game, won stupid prize.

No one here has suggested banning everything that costs the public money.

Smokers, on the other hand, are a minority in society. And in a democratic society, majorities can form to create laws.

Obesity is a little different issue since nutrition is not optional; smoking, on the other hand, is quite non-essential.

There are also programs that address the problem of obesity. The regulation of sugar use as an ingredient in food, for example. But laws in this field are subject to greater influence from the food manufacturers’ lobby. The tobacco lobby, on the other hand, no longer wields as much power, as the majority of people are non-smokers.

We see who decides: the government. In Britain they are elected to do so. That’s democracy. The majority of people are non-smokers, and the tobacco lobby no longer has the power it used to.

They don’t die cheap if they’re treated for cancer several years before the final breath. Billions are lost to society annually as a result. Cancer treatment is largely futile, yet it’s overly expensive. The revenue from tobacco tax is far from sufficient to cover that.

Even if they’re smoking at home, the enormous costs to the healthcare system caused by smokers every year are a burden on the shoulders of everyone in society.

I need some scotch to feel comfortable.

Other statesmen and journalists should also learn – and make it clear that Trump is making himself look more and more ridiculous and that all his threats are simply weird and clumsy.

The whole car-centric lifestyle is unhealthy and unsustainable.

Same here, never used LinkedIn and don’t see any reason for that. LinkedIn is full of self-promoters, none of whom I want to become.

Open job opportunities are posted everywhere on specialized job platforms. Just subscribe to job postings in your own field and then apply directly.

The ballroom will probably be built above an underground data / command center:

Nah, the Antarctic penguins were already punished by tariffs, they don’t deserve another penalty.

There are also attempts to lobby again for absurdly expensive, economically and socially unsustainable nuclear power solutions which are intended to lead us into further long-term dependencies.
