What's the difference?....
I don't subscribe to a nanny state mandating personal choices and behaviours. A tax and regulatory framework which ensures those who choose to enjoy (selfish) freedoms pay for the pleasure is a better solution. .......
The nanny state protects people from the unscrupulous; should the owner of a ship be free to make a personal choice about the number of lifeboats?
Also protects people from their own weakness, poor judgement, whatever.
"Nanny state" is just a right wing cliche about reducing public spending and regulation, part of the imaginary "culture war".
