This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Would you like a citation on what Pigouvian taxes are, how the cigarette industry is flooded with competition, or that putting further regulations on products makes them more expensive to produce?

I assumed you could Google any of these but I can do it for you. Fair warning, you'll be getting a "let me Google that for you" link.

Not one of these facts is even remotely controversial so my mind is a bit boggled that you'd even try to contest any of them

So you have nothing to support your claims. Got it.
