Bloomberg thinks taxing poor people makes them live longer. The IMF gives this stupidity an audience. The audience applauds this stupidity.
Bloomberg has a very superficial understanding of nutrition. He is obsessed with what people are eating and drinking. In the field of nutrition, there is always a debate about “What is healthy” and “What is not healthy.” Over the years, the consensus constantly changes. There are many studies that say bacon is good. Other studies say bacon is bad. Bloomberg, who knows next to nothing about nutrition, wants to be the technocrat who decides. He is not a believer in “Live and let live”.
