This is utterly worthless in the face of capitalism. I don’t drink sugary drinks but when Poland introduced that tax, all drinks prices went up for about the same. Fuckers just gouged us using tax as excuse.
The tax isn’t supposed to punish the manufacturers, it’s supposed to disincentivize the people partaking in the vice by causing prices to go up.
Yes, but you did not understand what i wrote, i meant that precisely this was wasted by capitalism because prices of ALL drinks went up by roughly the same, not only the sugary ones, so even such crude incentive went completely to waste, not even noticed in practice.
Idk… here we have similar tax and that caused what expected more offering of sugar free versions and trying to sell you that instead. That said some of the sugar alternatives…have it’s own issues.
