Patrick9915 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 My State Representative wants to charge people for using paper and plastic bags at the supermarket. 5 cents a bag. You've gotta be kidding me. This state is ridiculous. They tax and slow bleed everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've gotta be kidding me. This state is ridiculous. They tax and slow bleed everyone. I'm all for ZERO WASTE programs. That will encourage people to bring their own bags or use re-useable bags and put an end to all those plastic bags that people thoughtlessly throw away. Ikea charges extra for bags... but it's is a voluntary act on the corporations part A small step towards corporate responsibility.

Although I despise the deposit law it seems to work "I have ... put a lump of ice into an equal quantity of water ... if a little sea salt be added to the water we shall produce a fluid sensibly colder than the ice was in the beginning, which has appeared a curious and puzzling thing to those unacquainted with the general fact."- Joseph Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk Freud Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Exactly! And guess what... returns for deposits are UP, way up since the economy took a dive. This prolly shouldn't be a legislative isssue but corporations and too many citizens just don't seem to care enough.

gobigblue Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 are people so lazy that they would actually pay for the bags instead of just reusing the ones sitting underneath the sink? i say charge $10 per bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've gotta be kidding me. This state is ridiculous. They tax and slow bleed everyone. Just heard total sales tax in Fresno CA may hit 11.5 %. Repub Congressman Devin Nunes predicts unemployment at 20% is the San Joaquin valley. He used the D word. CA is heading for depression. Capital outflow from CA continues. "Who is John Galt?" Who?

This is how meems are born "Reich-Wing" Corporations are nothing but the sum of their parts, ie. board of directors. Typically, those people appear amoral and rarely demonstrate any social conscience. Hence, they appear socially irresponsible and their actions as a corporate entity usually reflect their disposition.

In fact I'm looking into a micro enterprise specializing in recycling particular classes of plastic locally. Just processing raw recycled plastic to then be sent to a local manufacturer. Problem is when a business sells you something in packaging that cannot be conveniently, efficiently and affordably recycled.
