minus-square@sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 day agoI mostly care about longer term impacts. The ban has only been in place for a year and a half, so it’s really not much to go on.
minus-square@slackassassin@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 day agoShort term and long term impacts are both worthy of study, surely.
minus-square@sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 day agoSure, but short term impacts are generally unreliable, since there are a lot of cases of coincidence, like a good policy having no immediate impact or a bad policy having the desired impact. Longer term studies account for that randomness.
