Bet they will tax bag sales.
NYS just banned plastic grocery bags.
And counties are bring allowed to tax paper bags sold in grocery stores.
These politicians should stuff their heads into a plastic bag and tie it off with a cord around the neck.
Yep, in NYS the 5 cent fee is split 3 cents to government for social programs and 2 cents to the store for the bag. Another redistribution scam to save the environment.
Same people and ideology that told us we needed to have plastic bags 25 years ago. Now we don’t they say and will punish you by banning or taxing the use of them.
Cuomo & Legislators Will Ban Plastic Bags, Tax Paper in NY
Note to Trump: Suggestion for your campaign store, how about paper grocery bags with MAGA on them. I'd buy in bulk.
The country is being overrun by the “wisdom” of teenagers.
Typical big city/county government...useless human acne.
In other places, these bans have been so onerous on the public in general that they are being reversed. Even watermelons are sick of it.
We’ll either go over the border or buy our own paper bags. I hope Trump starts selling them. If not MAGA paper grocery bags, then MAGA reusable totes (very machine washable please since the damn things can be a disease vector).
Typical big city/county government...useless human acne.
Pretty soon they will just serve you food in your cupped hands or just take the shopping cart home with the groceries in it.
Now we go back to paper bags that I remember were so horrible because of all the tree killing.
Folks I give you the left, controlling every single part of our lives.
[[Brady on Wednesday said he believed the proposed ban had garnered a “broad consensus.” ]]
There’s that word again.
Has China and India banned plastic bags?
Paper bags also cost more to ship. Points of sale also have to reconfigured for the different shaped bags. People may bring bags that are differently sized.
What an expensive, unnecessary PITA.
Not ALL bags are banned, you notice.
Currently we used our own homemade cloth bags. Seeing all the plastic in landfills is saddening.
But I do not want the government to set the rules. If everyone simply tried to reduce plastics use, it would make a big difference.
Comments button did not work for me. Maybe you have to be a subscriber.
I use a paper bag for that.
When asked “paper or plastic?” my response was “wicker” or sometimes “stainless steel.” I then changed it to “Kryptonite.” I said I’d like a Kryptonite bag in case Superman was in the parking lot thinking that I owed him money.
