Didn’t they force plastic bags on us for the “ecology” after Jimmy Carter’s gas shortage?
Doesn’t anyone remember that?
I really have no problem with this. I’ve got two plastic bags stuck in trees in my front yard. They’ve been there for six months. I’ll never get them down, I’ll have to wait. I started bagging my groceries in a cardboard box I get at work. It saves time and when I delivered my mom’s groceries in a box, she exclaimed, “Just like the old days in New York!”
I went to 3 stores today and accumulated about 30 plastic bags to add to the million I already have.
I live in L.A. and we have the most idiotic and racist Hispanic city council members, probably second only to San Fran and Newark. I’m looking forward to hoarding paper bags for future sale in 2 years, why not? Probably sell them to some illegal on Sta Monica Blvd for 20C, they wouldn;t even know the difference.
Just put a recycle value on them and the homeless will have a whole new line of work, for cash.
When you go to the grocery store, just tell the bag boy to put everything back in your cart and then have him walk out and put it in the trunk of your car. Leave some boxes in the trunk of your car.
If everyone in LA does this, then the law will be overturned faster than you can say "Do you need some help out?"
Nice stealth tax using enviro-nazism. I expect this will migrate countrywide when the revenue potentials are seen by other city governments.
I remember the slogan...Kill a tree ... or choke a fish. Paper or plastic. Ye Gods!
And when this legislation starts to put plastic bag manufacturers out of business and thousands of people out of work it will be Bush’s fault for the upswing in unemployment rates!
Sounds good to me. I really hate those bags.
