Backdoor sin taxes is what was really prevented with the efforts as what should be an easy resolution became yet another vehicle for liberals seeking to push other agendas (and of course, finance them on the backs of the public and companies.)
How hard can this be to craft? ‘We advise women who are able to that they breastfeed their children.’ There, done. But that’s not how these multilateral resolutions are created; it drifts sometimes far beyond the scope into marketing restrictions that favor some companies over others, etc.
That there has to be elaborate negotiations over something that should be as quick as ‘where’s last year’s resolution, okay, make copies, let’s get it signed.’
It’s nice having a government that doesn’t just rubber stamp the latest liberal screeds. And contrary to the reporting, the Russian resolution excluded ALL of the material the US objected to. That so many countries were so scared of liberals that they couldn’t do the same thing is really the scary part.
Yeah, they have to milk these resolutions for all they’re worth.
