NYC may ban detergent pods, some laundry sheets in latest ‘green’ crackdown — with fines up to $1,200 for selling them

New York City could soon ban detergent pods across the five boroughs in the latest “green” push from lawmakers.

The “Pods are Plastic Bill,” introduced by City Councilman James Gennaro last week, would make it illegal to sell any pods and laundry sheets if they’re made with polyvinyl alcohol.

Fines for selling the pods would start at $400, double for a second violation and top off at $1,200 for flouting the rules more than twice, if the bill becomes law. The bill would also require education and outreach to businesses on the ban for the first year.

The law wouldn’t take effect until Jan. 1, 2026, if passed.

Eventually a black man will die in an altercation with police for selling street Tide Pods resulting in riots that cause a further erosion of western civilization thus completing the circle of life.

We are going to have to go through a HUGE process of correction and restoration.

That's not to say that we will. Civilizations do fall - either to outside invaders, or to their own decadence. We're succumbing to both.

I am sure happy that NY lawmakers have no real pressing concerns. Must mean the state is a nod to paradise.

When I read years ago about Bloomberg’s attempt to ban the Big Gulp, I never dreamed it would lead to banning gulping down Tide Pods.

They were locked up at Walmart in Oceanside California a couple of summers ago. The clerk said people were stealing. Someone else said people were eating them. Sheesh.

Tacitus was kind of a weirdo (hated Christians and Jews) but he was right about some things!

PS as we all know, the entire “green” “for the climate” bullsh** is merely an excuse for tyranny, and they know it. Or they wouldn’t buy huge ocean front estates.

Driving more business to surrounding states and inconveniencing the consumer.
