Canadian Blood Services Promotes Pseudoscience 219

trianglecat writes "The not-for-profit agency Canadian Blood Services has a section of their website based on the Japanese cultural belief of ketsueki-gata, which claims that a person's blood group determines or predicts their personality type.

"Critics say the carriers will simply pass these fees through to consumers."

What we have here is a stealth tax. There is absolutely no way these costs will not be born by the consumer. This is the nature of business. If your costs rise, you need more revenue to cover them.

You are assuming perfectly inelastic demand (if you don't know what elasticity is in an economic context have a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_(economics) ) which the wireless market market most certainly is not. The portion of a tax paid by consumers and by producers (regardless of who the tax is supposed to target) is determined by elasticity.
