this is actually from about 1788... not the tweet itself but the content of the tweet.. and today's tweet is actually a reminder of a tweet from last year... so here goes...

When the State does some social engineering with the various tools available to them, specifically taxes, I am always curious to discover if it worked out as intended, if they hit their goals, if it had less of an effect than expected or more or just what they expected, etc. Sometimes we are made aware of the results with various headlines and reports, but more often than not, we rarely seem to hear any follow up. I guess if you were really researching it you could find out, but the general articles on these things are often scarce, unless there is a particular interest in the matter.

The taxes on plastic bags in supermarkets is actually one of those things that has actually been followed up decently with the occasional article in general media letting us know how it is going. Maybe because it was so successful, I don't know.

It seems there is a bit of a milk shortage here in Israel right now. I have no idea what the cause of the shortage is. 

This is interesting. I can say just "interesting" because there is no way this goes through and gets to be more than just "interesting".

Gal Gadot is going to be receiving the honor of being the first Israeli actor/actress to be inducted to the Hollywood Walk of Fame with her own star in the street. I guess she really is Wonder Woman!
