On today's episode we look at two areas of this past election in San Francisco on the 5 November 2019. We examine bonds, regulations, and taxes on consumer products. Some people have called any restrictions on consumer products as "nanny policies." Others see them as a way to deter specific unhealthy behaviors for a short-term that can have long-term consequences, such as addiction. Bonds have been seen as quick fixes in order to build urgently needed, publicly-owned infrastructure, such as public hospitals or high speed rails. Ultimately, who do these bonds benefit in the long-term? Previous What’s Left? Episodes Does Voting Matter? What’s Left?
