Meanwhile, demonicRATS and the Fake News Media (but I repeat myself) are foaming at the mouth that gas went up 6 cents last week.

Enjoy the warm suck of Collectivist Nationalist Socialism.

CalRecycle, however, estimates the impact will be far smaller, projecting households will pay between $57 and $190 more annually based on data from the California Department of Finance.

Yeah, because neither CalRecycle nor the Commiefornia Dept. of Finance have any incentive to lie.

Look at stupid California voters, these kind of bills are 50% just pretentious virtue signalling by the politicians and 50% just another gimmick to tax Californian’s more, period.

California just keeps hurting its citizens, but it adores its illegals.

California doesn’t even behave like a state in the Union anymore. It’s more like a rogue breakaway colony.

by making manufacturers financially responsible

Rule #1 - any law that makes a manufacturer or store "financial responsible" means that the manufacturer or store is simply going to raise prices and pass the cost to consumers.

Supporters say those added costs are outweighed by shifting the financial burden of packaging waste from taxpayers to the companies that produce it.

Shifting the burden from large companies to people who eat food.

“The measure aims to reduce landfill waste by making manufacturers financially responsible for the packaging they sell after it is thrown away.

It charges companies impact fees on products they sell while also requiring them to phase out packaging that cannot be adequately reused, recycled or composted. “

I wondering what a cogent argument in opposition to this looks like. Anyone have any input on that?

“”making manufacturers financially responsible for the packaging they sell after it is thrown away.””

What horrible writing - goes along with the idiots proposing whatever it is they’re thinking about, I guess. Manufacturers SELL packaging after it is thrown away?

I know it’s late and I’m tired but this doesn’t make any sense to me. I assume they’re talking about the PRODUCTS we buy that are packaged in a certain material. At any rate, they need to knock off the booze, sober up and enter the real world OR is that the real world?

Everybody get a hankie ready for the tears of sympathy for a state’s voters that put it in a Governor and state legislature (State Assembly and State Senate) totally under full Dem control for decades. A “trifecta.”

I’m doing well at holding back the tears.

“making manufacturers financially responsible for the packaging they sell after it is thrown away.”

In what warped concept of law and government is that okay?

Hey - They’re gonna need another brand-new, huge, overpaid bureaucracy to test and evaluate all the different packaging produced by the manufacturers.

Just getting started.
