Laird: The more unethically a product is produced, the greater the rate of tax/duty on it would be, with the aim of making more ethically produced products more appealing price-wise to the consumer.

I’m just curious; [being unmarried has] drawbacks such as? Well, the main and obvious one is that you don't have someone to share romantic/sexual love and affection with, which for most people are very satisfying and rewarding things to share. The other one that comes to mind is that in practical...
