Hamas lied about the death tolls but not in the way you think. The truth is that Hamas only counted the people who they could confirm the identity of, their death toll is a massive underestimate. Basically all credible sources agree that the death toll is at least as high as Hamas says.

Not really. Higher speeds increase fuel consumption, and traffic light timings don’t change with fewer cars on the road. They might save a little on roundabouts but for the most part I think the effects would be negligible.

Fatshaming is almost never done out of a genuine concern for the person’s health, and it’s debatable how effective it is at getting people to lose weight. Especially because of how confusing the process is.

Given the identity ICE agents have of themselves, as a muscular brute standing between civilized Americans and barbaric outsiders, fat-shaming them is reasonable. Also, they don’t deserve to be treated as human beings. Even murderers deserve better than ICE agents.

That’s what the market prices are for. The taxes are for raising revenue and encouraging long-term behavioral change.
