I was really surprised by the results. When I created this instapanel I was a strong &quot;Yes&quot; on Prop E - governments need to raise funds, so why not tax vices.<p>Watching the responses, I&#x27;ve changed my vote to &quot;No&quot;. The panelists raised a lot of great points about the holes in Prop E. It&#x27;s only SF so people will just drive to Daly City to stock up on soda. There are tons of sugary products that won&#x27;t be taxed. It&#x27;s a tax at the distributor level, so businesses will just get their soda from outside the city. It&#x27;s a regressive tax. On and on.

Yet another example of the disaster of craziness that is the California Proposition system. What a distraction and waste of resources all around.
