This is why I look back at my years as a mindless Big Business cheerleader with embarrassment.
Love the “Associated Propaganda’. Right is wrong, up is down and left is right.
The headline should read, “States force cities to accept their control and the end of a gun”.
Plastic bags don’t work as well paper bags for placing over a female’s head.
Maine has a bill in the legislature to ban municipalities from enacting minimum wage laws. Portland and several others are considering such local ordinances.
They don’t care about the bag ban. If local cities and town want to do it, let them.
Portland Maine now has a bag fee. Strangely the JoAnn Fabric & Craft Store does not have to comply because less than 15% of their merchandise is food related (they sell candy bars t the register). They make a point of letting you know as you are buying that the bags are free.
Plastic bags work just fine. The user is responsible for the pollution. I’m sure they can create a plastic bag that would decompose into harmless stuff.
Los Angeles did ban plastic grocery bags but not all other plastic. They are now allowing plastic grocery bags for the most part. You may have individual stupid city councils banning plastic bags.
I myself hate paper bags as I have to be very careful holding the bag by their fragile handles that rip off at the slightest weight applied. I cannot grab as I do with plastic bags, a bunch of bags all at once by the handle.
I have to make multiple trips to bring in the groceries vs 1 trip with plastic bags. They are also near useless if it is raining out. With plastic it is easy but not a chance of it working with paper.
I will not buy separate tote bags for the groceries and have to carry them from store to store. This ain’t old Russia.
