First they came for our plastic grocery bags. Then they came for our plastic straws. Now they’ve come for our plastic water bottles at SFO. Yes, you read that right. Starting Tuesday, the sale of plastic water bottles will be banned at San Francisco International Airport, one of the few places they actually make sense. California has many dumb laws and statutes and bans, but this one is especially brainless—spurred by futile self-righteousness.
After running late for your flight after a 30-minute security line only to have TSA confiscate your Fiji water bottle, you’ll now have to stop at a crowded water fountain to fill your own metal flask. Or buy an overpriced glass or aluminum bottle at the concession stand, paying another 10 cents for a bag. And your teeth will chatter if you drink through a paper straw. Of course you could risk dehydration instead: Men lose up to a half-gallon of water during a 10-hour flight. Oddly, you can still buy sugary drinks in plastic bottles at SFO; only healthy, calorie-free water is banned in plastic. You can’t make this stuff up.
Other fields are even worse. Starting next year, the California Building Standards Commission will require every new home to have solar panels. This will add $8,400 to the average cost of the state’s already expensive homes. With a shortage of about 1.4 million housing units, according to the California Housing Partnership, that’s a $12 billion unfunded mandate. ***
There’s more. Proposition 64, passed in 2016, allows Californians to grow six pot plants at home. Why not seven? And there is still no measurable legal limit for driving while stoned. When hungry, you can bring your dog to restaurants. Since 2015 no one can stop you. ***

Thank You, that’s cool !
I am a 3rd generation native of San Diego, (Coronado) California, and I now detest this state.
It’s gone and lost forever, thanks to the takeover by Demonic-Rats.
It started gradually with the influx of Easterners who brought their Democrat politics with them. I was appalled and knew Kalifornia was gone when voters elected 2 female, Demonic-Rat NYer’s to the U.S. Senate: Feinstein and Boxer.
It’s all been down hill from there and even gotten worse. Motor Voter sealed CA’s fate. Illegals vote here without any fear. NO ID is required.
Vote “harvesting” will insure Demonic-Rat victories in 2020 and beyond.
Everything but illegal aliens
Plastic razors and razor blade cartridges. CA will probably coordinate this with Gillette first.
common sense...
I was born and have lived in California since mid 1933 and the citizens have provided for me and my family very well...
You are very welcome!
Did not work for me on this WSJ article. There are other websites that want ads and use this link for them.
Take care.........pilgrim
California will ban liberals, illegal aliens, and all anchor babies regardless of their age.
OK, I can dream, can’t I?
I read somewhere that they are going to start going after people who put their socks on the wrong feet.
“In other news the state of California has voted to ban itself as the state resembles a high capacity magazine”.

The paper straws thing is ridiculous. Do you know what happens when one tries to pull the paper wrapper off of a paper tube?! It just flattens the straw which will ultimately become soggy and delaminate in his drink.
