Liberal Marxists do things just to be doing them TO SOMEONE ELSE. They do not do them because of a positive effect. Hence, the follow-the-leader game with California in the lead, always. If the Kalis can get away with it, then let’s do it!!!!

My local supermarket says that the reusable cloth bags are “temporarily” banned from the store.

I don’t see how they reverse course. These germ-laden bags of death are going to be okey-dokey in a few months? The public should just say No.

“If it was paper, I used it for book covers,...”
That brings back memories of school back in the mid-50s.

Those grocery store plastic bags also come in handy when its time to clean the cat litter box (be certain to check first if the bag has a hole in the bottom!)

One correction to the article....the bags were never free. They’re a cost factored in the price of groceries sold at the store.

Why would I cover my e-reader with a paper bag?

Hmmm...now that I think about it, I do remember something called a “book.”

A few years ago, I bought 1000 of the plastic bags from Sam’s for $10.00, equating to one cent per bag. Imagine how little it cost per bag for a bulk buyer like Wal-Mart.

Whether Liberal Marxist or pantheist humanist, all are miserable souls who seek to make the rest of us as miserable as they are.

I don’t give these politicians the benefit of doubt for ANY reason ever. I believe they were fully aware of the health risks of reusable bags and decide it would be a great way to eliminate a lot of Older People to help save their failing Medical System here in California.

YES! THEY WANTED TO KILL PEOPLE!.

Absolutely! We double-bag to minimize dirty litter seepage. Works like a charm!

We threw French fries from the pan to the bag, added salt and shook it...the bag absorbed the grease.

We did the book covers, too.

Banning those thin plastic bags was a boon for plastic bag manufacturers. Instead of using the grocery plastic bags for trash can liners, people bought trash can liners, which were a heavier plastic that takes much longer to break down.

Not taping TO the books. Taping the corners only, so they would stay on the books.
