Nannies should take an econ class
Seattle Nannies ban 29 brands of alcohol prefered by poor people — you know, for their own good. Poor people switch to the the 30th and 31st cheapest brands.

I’d be curious to see what sales of listerine do after they pass this ban.

Holy crap that’s a dumb law. It’s the War on Poor People.

Several years ago I remember some doctor breathlessly ranting about high alcohol content wines being the “Satruday night special” of wines.
And we know how they feel about cheap handguns, that the call the same epithet.
Next up from the same city, outlawing certain brands of cheap coffee. It will have to be a Starbucks mocha latte grande or nothing.

Yeah, Portland had an experiment with that form of Prohibition about a decade ago. It didn’t work.
In Seattle, the City gives these homeless filk free bus passes, so I’m sure they’ll just get on a bus or a trolley and ride out across the city limits and buy their Mad Dog, and ride back. During the winter, you see a lot of them riding the bus and trolley to stay dry, anyway.
Prediction: it won’t work.

I wondered if this story was actually real. Amazing. God help us from bureaucrats who want to help us!

This is ridiculous. I cook a Cajun dish that requires Ripple. Mad Dog or even Merlot simply will not work. Only Ripple will do. I hope this insanity never comes to Knoxville. Of course knowing how Bill Haslam thinks I may have to make trips to Anderson County to purchase my cooking wine.
