Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

I'm afraid America lost its "free press" a decade ago, the days of Edward Murrow and Walter Cronkite are -long- gone. Mainstream media in the U.S. is now owned by a handful of corporations and they tend to report the government's official line almost verbatim. This is why they continue running malicious stories about the "harmful effects" of vaping even though no credible source has detected -any- harm associated with it at all. One sided reporting isn't by accident, coincidence or lack of knowledge but by intent/design. This is how/why the general public came to believe vaping is as bad or worse than smoking, people tend to believe what they hear over and over and over again. Gaining broad pubic support was a necessary prerequisite to heavily regulating/taxing a harmful item that isn't harmful. Truth and fact become -completely irrelevant- so long as "perception" is fully on your side. I really see no reason to believe the U.S. press will reverse course and suddenly become objective in their reporting on this issue.

Walter Cronkite was a known socialist and would be in favor of Deeming and everything the Democrats in charge are doing.

Just wanted to post this. Apparently it is a real billboard and vapors are blowing up their phones and FB to have it removed.

I'm sorely tempted to call the number on the billboard just to find out what lies they're telling.

Surely, and no, I'm not calling you Shirley :w00t:, you know Conkite was the #1 rated news caster for a decade, and the media are left leaning. With me so far? Cronkite according to NYT announced we lost Tet Offensive for weeks...which we did not, and it caused the US Military to pull out of Vietnam leaving it in Communists hands.

Bio of good ol Walter.

So what is the exise tax on milk in your area?

There is a tax on Snapple of 10.25% like everything else in Chicago that I can think of.

GOOGLE: As Chicagoans rang in the New Year, Cook County ushered in the highest sales tax in the nation. Chicago is the county seat of Cook County, whose officials voted in July to raise the county's portion of the sales tax, bringing Chicago's combined rate to 10.25 percent from 9.25 percent.

We have the highest tax in the nation.

Cigarettes are somewhere around $13/pack here. Hence I took up vaping. Then the City of Chicago and Cook County raised the tax on e-liquids by $1.00+/ml. So I do all my shopping in the suburbs and online.
