1. It is a quite unique problem My guess is that the angle from which the picture was taken made the picture look the same as John look at himself in the mirror.
2. If the sales plummet after the proposed tax goes through, the revenue might not materialize as expected. The essential goods are indispensable and the demand and supply are not subject to as much elasticity as luxury good are.
Everybody please contribute. I am quite busy these days and cannot garantee my time here.
