California governor Gavin Newsom on Wednesday announced that he has signed a law banning hotels from providing guests with the small, disposable plastic bottles containing personal-care products such as shampoo and conditioner that are a common staple of the industry.

The ban on plastic bottles holding less than six ounces will go into effect on January 1, 2023 for hotels with more than 50 rooms, and one year after that for hotels with 50 or fewer rooms. The law allows a local agency to conduct inspections and issue citations if hotels do not comply. A first violation carries a $500 fine and a second carries a $2,000 fine...

The governor of California is wasting his time on stupid, moonbat laws like this when millions in Northern California are going without electricity?

California is officially a third world shithole.

Why would any sane person ever want to go to such an uncivilized state?

Stupid. So bring your own little travel-size plastic bottles you can easily buy in stores. And be sure to toss a bunch of ‘em in the trash when staying in San FranSicko.

It must be hell to live in a state where politicians tell you what you can and can’t do. It’s definitely not the American way of life and people who live under a system like that should never refer to themselves as Americans because they are far from it.

Hotels here will have a lot of guests running around with dirty hair.

I once read that such amenities are standard in Asian hotels. We are going to look pretty backwards to them — no shampoo, no straws, no power, homeless encampments, etc.

Clearly California is grappling with the important policy questions, when they are passing laws like this in the middle of a significant self-imposed power outage . . .

They will have a big trough of the stuff at the desk.

Just dip out a handful and carry it back to your room.

The first sea turtle that shows a couple of these needles/syringes protruding from it’s shell in a photo are going to cause a firestorm...or a crow or some bird incorporating a few of these into their nests.

Matter of fact I wonder if we could find some enterprising nine year old that’s good with crayon and words and wants to make a bit of money...”nuff said”.
