When SanFran and other cities in CA eliminated them, we suddenly had a health issue.<br /> <br />Actually, there are more issues than that. Those reuseable bags are not always clean, but the cashier/clerk must handle them to load the groceries. I hear horror stories from the clerks on what they encounter. The stores require the clerks to load them.<br /><br />The other issue is that they are supposed to be washed each time you get done with them. We don't have that culture here, so they don't get washed, and people get sick from contaminated food at home. They expect that there are people dying from this situation, but no hard numbers are available, just guesses.<br /><br />Unintended Consequences just from virtue signaling. The Left strikes again!<br /><br />Those disposable bags are made from natural gas, not oil. I suspect they just burn the excess gas now. When L.A. banned them, they put about 5k workers out of jobs making and transporting them.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-27879680654870212682019-03-15T10:47:45.514-04:002019-03-15T10:47:45.514-04:00Plausibly you could make the argument that we'...<i>Plausibly you could make the argument that we're already in a shooting war, although I don't think that I'd go that far.</i> <br /><br />How much shooting crosses the threshold? Ask Steve Scalise and his security detail. <br /><br />Let's say that was just a crazy MoFo with a gun. If not for Steve Scalise's security detail, he would have killed about 30 members of the House. Think that would have changed national politics? <br /><br />How can we know when it's just another crazy MoFo or the opening round of CW 2.0? As I understand it, nobody thought assassinating Archduke Ferdinand meant much at the time, either. <br /><br />I'm not saying the twit that slashed the guy's tires should be shot. I'm just saying the next one that goes after the MAGA hat may well be contemplating more and need to be. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-54240073947157090072019-03-15T08:36:02.050-04:002019-03-15T08:36:02.050-04:00War seems inevitable at this point.

Perhaps the left thinks the right will just surrender. There is certainly evidence to support this belief but times have changed. The right thinks it will be an easy victory. They are wrong. And most people are just asleep or in denial about where we are going.

Unfortunately, to many people chose this as an opportunity to grab power (both sides are guilty of this). Now, I feel our nation is close to being irrevocably broken.

It's the only place where I've heard or seen (yes, actually seen) a Tesla with a Bernie 2020 sticker on it.<br /><br />It is so bad here that every 4 years, the windows of the local Republican party office would be smashed, several times, and even with really good surveillance, no one would be caught...<br /><br />But... In the last 3 years, on the west side of town, I've seen quite a few MAGA and NRA hats. They seem to proliferate after acts of stupidity. And more and more, I hear 'normal people' questioning the status quo, openly discussing 'conservative' issues out loud.<br /><br />Though places like Portland and SanFran may be lost, I think there's actually hope out there if my little slice of socialist heaven/hell is showing positive signs.<br /><br />Of course, then there's the negative signs. The city commission just banned plastic grocery bags because, as one councilwoman said, "They're polluting the ocean." Sure, lady. Our landfill at 150+ feet above sea level is leaching plastic bags into the Pacific...<br /><br />But what do you expect from the town that brought you "Don't Tase Me, Bro!" (Which was a leftist protesting at a John Kerry speech, and the town supported the leftist, so that's why I said hearing conserve-speak here is a good thing...)Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.com
