It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Since most Americans have a couple of years of extra padding, the best approach might be to encourage reduced consumption; higher prices for food and beverages could curb waste and excess. Once we adjust, the food industry will no longer need to rely on hormones to boost production.

Riiiiight.....because EVERYONE knows there's no such thing as food deserts! It's so much EASIER to prescribe everyone some wunderdrug and keep food a luxury good than it is to break up monopolies! Not only will that make the money sad, but it might also GASP.....have CHALLENGES!

My sister in Christ, you want to "save us poors from ourselves"? How about you and the rest of your rich friends plummet your property values in walkable cities so us poors can walk everywhere! Or IDK, just ban addictive chemicals that are added to foodstuffs?

And there's one industry that will definitely boom—the apparel industry. As everyone sheds weight, they'll need new wardrobes. Come your next campaign, you'll face supporters who are leaner, better dressed, and happier.

Fuck you. "You will own nothing and be happy" ahh article.
