Oh hey, more propaganda and Lemmy users swallowing it whole.
No wonder populists always use the leftist flag.-
Actual populists rarely call themselves populists, you got that right at least. Mainly because a good chunk of people they pander to aren't bright enough to understand the term "populist".
But the ones I can think of are all firmly right wing. Trump. Orbán. Farage. And not one of them is, or would call themselves "leftist".
There was one guy back in the late 1930s who tried that and it didn't go well for him, and I suspect that makes them nervous.
But then, you probably think that guy actually was a socialist.

I agree with this in Mexico coke is cheaper than water at an average 10 cents per liter. Though their Chinese EV tariff plan is going to negate any real health benefits since their local market doesn't produce EVs in enough volume.

I don't know where or how are you buying your stuff but a 3L coca cola is between 40-50 pesos while a 20L purified water costs about 20, more from the big brands but it's still 17 more liters

About time. Have you had a Jarritos? Shits like 50% sugar.
-
Is it 50% sugar, or does a serving contain 50% the daily recommended value of sugar?
-
I sell jarritos at work, all 3 flavours we have say approx 10% sugar (guava, mandarin and lime)

I'm happy seeing a country actively trying to help it's citizens.
First they decreased poverty through a series of measures - https://apnews.com/article/poverty-mexico-president-andres-manuel-lopez-obrador-social-welfare-c7ec7f184ce8163e84fffa1b9f47aed8
Decreasing sugar intake will reduce obesity and diabetes.
I know Mexico still has major issues.
-
But if Mexico stops making Mexican Coke, where will I get decent Coke in America? 😩
-
Try Colombian Coke
-
You can still buy them, you'll just pay more.
-
I can get sugar free Coke without importing it. The reason to import regular, sugar added Coke is because they use cane sugar; we use HFCS.

They can take my horchata and tamarindo from my cold dead hands.

I don't know who drinks this shit. Just have some wine.

Isn't DrPepper a cartel?
-
No dummy, he is a Doctor.
-
-
Last time they got mexico's calderon to do that it predictably splintered the cartels yielding unending violence.
Someone will fill the market. I say legalize coca leaf to lessen demand.
-
That would be dangerous.
-
I agree. They should drop absolutely everything and stop any progression and focus all effort in stopping the cartel until donald trump said the cartel are no more.
-
It's been 54 years and the war on drugs has not much to show for it except for the wasted tax payer money and human lives. But surely the cartels are the problem.
-
My sweet summer child...
The cartels are involved in way more than just drugs.
