I wish Germany would bring its sugar tax that we abolished in 1973 back. To be fair a lot of people are agreeing it has to come back by now, so chances are good that we'll soon have one again.
I think with Lauterbach as minister we have quite good chances. I was honestly kind of surprised to read that they are attempting to ban supervised drinking. Didn't think the CSU of all parties would support that
What is supervised drinking?
In Germany teenagers between the age of 14 and 16 (which is the legal drinking age) may drink beer, wine and pearl wine in public places such as restaurants as long as they're supervised by their legal guardians. Obviously in a "reasonable" manner
Oh neat, a German AMA. What's pearl wine?
Why was it abolished?
Not being German, I maintain I am still accurately guessing that it's because corporations waved money under politicians' noses and their brains turned to mush and they said, "yes, masters."
