> Why would anyone care about something like this ...

Because it is a dangerous addiction [1] with recognised adverse effects on human health. Like sugar, tobacco, or drugs.

While I agree it's not a net positive, I find it dangerous to equate all addictions.

He’s not equating all addictions beyond saying they are all addictions and should be treated as such.

Lets do the nanny state!

(As I get older, unironically. I want my productive worker bees to be drug free, addiction free, enjoying simple pleasures that do not put me at risk. They pay Social Security. Everything is nice and safe. Freedom? Yeah no thanks, get to work and pay your taxes.)

The thing is, why do you care? We like it this way. These companies are a cancer and they should be erradicated.

You think that attacking these horrible companies is bad for our freedoms, we think our freedoms are fine with it.

I mean, lets do the opposite where a large corporation gets people intentionally addicted to drugs and then bilks them for every penny they have until they are husks. Remember, free market comes first!

Thank you from talking about the Holy Freedom, my brother. Looking forward to enjoying further freedoms thanks to laws that protect me from behavior that makes me unfree and in need to constantly control me and my surroundings!
