Anyone ask him about how 80% recent of NYC High Schools grads cannot read?

The fool is actually driving up the cost of healthcare.

How about banning homelessness, doofus?

This reminds me of the movie Demolition Man. Bloomberg is Dr. Cacto.

Sugary drinks are not in the country's interest, but a ground zero victory mosque is? Bloomberg supports the erection of a ground zero victory mosque in the very city where about 2900 people died from the religion/death cult that wants to erect the mosque. Also, Walmart hss been banned from NYC, also. Tis a sick and evil city to keep voting these swine into office.

The country’s interest? Excuse me, I don’t recall that Bloomberg was elected President of the country, let alone King. If the people of NYC really want to put up with his nonsense it’s their business, but I don’t live in NYC and I don’t answer to that a$$clown.

If we adhere to the Aristotelian mean and moderation in all things, then sugary drink size creep is to be shunned.

A short visit into most any public place provides views of large and extremely large people. The term is obese. They have a BMI exceeding 30 and have or are destined for poor health. One result is type II diabetes, a difficult to define disease that can be manifest in a host of minor to very serious health problems. Sugar and other carbohydrate excess over time produce the problems.

In the big picture, the problem becomes freedom, liberty, the ability to make choices. Should one be free to guzzle Coke or Pepsi while consuming mass quantities of Do Nuts and Twinkies or should all that stuff be rationed? Should one be restricted from eating a whole cake in one setting or be free to eat and suffer?

Those who tend to actually worry about the concept take both positions. Conservatives say freedom, liberty. Progressives say ration.

Under the concept of govern mandated health care the penalty for a BMI > 30 is a very unhealthy population requiring care that becomes very expensive. Such care can be considered unnecessary if there were adherence to the Aristotelian eating mean in the first place. Regulating moderation is the conclusion. The inability to moderate eating requires regulation to insure the cost of the immoderate action is reduced.

As mayor of a city that taxes beyond the Aristotelian moderation mean and still struggles, the cost of fat asses demanding city health care provided in addition to the state and federal care is a problem. The moderation penalty is not fair in the sense it affects everyone. It affects only the immoderate. Sensible people that drink only 12 oz are not bothered.

Large sugary drinks make people fat
Fat people require more healthcare and associated costs
Eliminate sugary drinks and save the budget

No. A ban on Mike Bloomberg is in the country’s interest. This billionaire bozo needs to STFU and go away.
