Well the rest of the thread is, the cigarettes you mentioned were previously mentioned in the context of being analogous to this tax. In the future it might be prudent to lead with a disclaimer like “well this actually doesn’t have anything to do with the topic at hand except for this one specific thing you said, and it’s very important we ignore all other context from the thread, however…”
It might, except for the fact that you seem to be the only person confused about this and I don’t foresee myself catering my future posts to you personally, generally speaking.
Actually I’d argue that I am not the one confused, I’m replying to someone who was confused about the nature of the thread they posted in, which I only found out after they claimed that they were only being hyperspecific and I should have known that due to what I can only surmise is my supposed psychic ability.
In any case, good day. It seems we have no further business.
Ok, but I was talking about the claim that tobacco taxes don’t cut down tobacco consumption.
And I’m saying “they may have, but bullets are different than cigarettes.”
That would be fine if I was talking about guns, which I was not.
