Asshole voters here voted to ban plastic bags. Didn't realize it would already be in effect. Went to Target to buy some shit and fucker wanted to charge me 10 cents for a bag. Went to the grocery store next door and same shit. I don't want to have to fucking carry bags around everywhere I go. Californians have voted themselves to be a bunch of fucking baggage handlers now. Reusing bags is just fucking gross.
Fuck you California.

Terrible state. All self entitled climate change fools.
People don't seem to realize it all comes down to different ways to tax you.
I lived their briefly and they charged me $20 recycle fee for a tv. I returned the tv for other reasons and asked for the $20. They explained, it was a one time fee for whoever bought the tv first?
Aside from overpriced utilities and cost of living...oh and their overcrowded highways...it's a beautiful landscape filled with many like Rich Piana. The West coast has trash that trumps the East any day. That's a big statement. To be fair, the women are impressive. You can't go to a Target without creeping on a half dozen of them.
The plastic bag law sounds on par for that state. A very delusional group. Just look at how they vote every 4 years.
-
Do you feel better know?
-
Are you going to blame Gingrich and Giuliani for this too?
-
Do you feel better know?
Nope. This ban won't go away. anytime I need to make a quick stop I need to plan to have bags with me. So freaking stupid.
-
Fuck you California.
Right! No one should vote for democrats!

The dumbass state a few years ago passed a temporary tax that was supposed to be for two years. Seven years later it was still around, they put it on the ballot to make it permanent and people voted Yes. Why the fuck does anyone vote Yes to raise taxes? Are people happy giving their money away to the California gov that just wastes every penny of it?

you know what, the good news is that isn't just west coast phenomenon. I don't know why but it is true.

Just tell the cashier to load the cart back with your stuff after you pay for it, have the bag boy help you load all that shit in your car.

You'll have to dip into your savings for that. ::)

Don't you California fags also need a permit to buy ammo now?
-
op saving 10 cents

You would prob feel different when you were living in the ocean. Here in Europe we had the same change, no big deal since plastic bags suck with groceries. In case I want a plastic bag, I pay 10 cents extra. Again, no big deal.
-
in Europoo you have to pay 5 cents per bag. :D
I usually buy a lot and proceed to burn them in front of the store... to raise climate change awareness.
-
Best part is the more they raise taxes the worse the state gets and the more in debt they get...LOL
Libtards for ya'
-
In Los Angeles county, we have had this ban for the last two years.
If I forget bags from the car, we just fill out the cart, and then put it in the car.
Sucks if you go to a store and then want to buy something.
-
Would Tom Prince vote for the ban on plastic bags?
Btw, didn't California ban, among others, magazines that hold more than 10 rounds and requires a background check to buy ammunition?
-
Here is the thing, everyone talks about making small changes that could make a difference in the world as long as they don't have to make any change themselves.
-
My wife just uses grocery tote bags and keeps them in the car. ALDI doesn't even have bags, you bring your own.
-
That place is a shit hole. I can't even believe they buy into their own bullshit let alone have other people buying into it.
Hopefully one day, it will change. These people are irrational.

In the south, if they did that, it would be open season for theft. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAHAH AHAH

Here is the thing:
Those changes are not going to do shit but inconvenience people and will have other effects which end up costing more and polluting more. People buy into dumb measures like this thinking they are going to stop something as big as "climate change". What a fucking joke. I can't believe people fall for this shit.
-
been like this in Canada for years now...you want a bag... 5 cents. + 1 cent tax so its 6 cents/bag yet 13% tax on 5 cents is not a full cent so its flawed math and where in the fuck do the millions of dollars these grocery stores/walmart etc make from the sale of plastic bags actually go???? Its just a bullshit additional tax under the guise of helping the environment....total bullshit!!!!!!!!!
-
You'll have to dip into your savings for that. ::)
It's the principal of it.

I reuse all the bags I get from grocery stores. Perfect for trash bags, wrapping pizza and bread dough when rising and storing, great to have if you have pets and need to clean up after them, great to store things in, great to use outside when carrying tools, great to keep screws and things separate.
The real idea should be to promote reusage and re-purposing of bags. Now, whoever makes the bags, no longer will make them and will fire on down the chain from concept to production. All the uses I mentioned above that people do, will have to go out and buy more useless shit in place which, going with the environmentalist logic, would cause greater harm as more shit has to be produced to fill those voids.
But, you guys, Are. Combating. Climate. Change. Give me a fucking break. ::)
-
Aldi master race checking in.
Lol at whining about having to keep a couple tote bags in your trunk.
You poor poor thing

Same here. those that call them "single use" are full of shit. I clean up my dog poop with them. I use them to carry lunch to work (the non dog poop ones). I put old shit in them.
-
With threads like these I'm starting to wonder if half the posters are over 70.
-
Hemp based bags - 420 bag it!
-
Stores already factor in the cost of the bags in the goods they sell. Obviously they aren't going to lower their prices now. Plus at 10 cents a bag it probably means 9 cents in profit to them now. Save the environment or give more profits.
-
I reuse all my plastic bags, just like TA. It just makes sense.
-
Trump is pro-plastic bags
-
Trump is pro-plastic bags
He can't overturn a state law can he?
-
Been 5 cents for plastic bags here in Canada for the past 6 years.
-
Just thought of an idea.
Printed grocery bags with purposely "offensive" slogans and pictures on them for people who think the bag idea is bullshit. Let them deal with that. hhahhahah
-
Same here as TA and others. I reuse my Walmart plastic bags for other things and are easy to store as you can just bundle them up as a ball and use 1 to store whatever you want. I use mine to store homemade cleaning detergent among other stuff.

Liberals in CA and other places live in literal shitboxes and would not know how to clean anything, mow anything or take care of anything so the thought of reusing a bag would never occur.

TA, I found this for you.

hahah did the liberals in California think this shit out? The extra water used in a water shortage state to wash these bags. The detergent that will be used to wash the bags. The energy it will take to power the washing machines in homes.
God these people are stupid.
-
LA has a nasty pollution cloud over it from an overflow of vehicles and many SUVs...but they're tackling that bag problem.
How do you not see the irony in that. Plus, they've done studies on how recycling uses a lot of energy...somewhat negating the point of recycling.
Th best part about humans is, they are so grandiose that they truly feel they are bigger than the planet.
Someone should let the recyclers know that they're a small part of the world. You want to impact your footprint. Take a bicycle around town...oh wait, too much hassle?
We all know humans will self destruct way before "climate change" will hammer down its imaginary gauntlet.

TA, the only issue I have is finding some place to store all my plastic bags. Where do you store them? I mean, eventually, it could become a hassle, especially if one grocery shops a lot. It could also be a potential fire hazard. Just sayin'

Try this. You know those large oatmeal containers of Quaker Oats? Just use that. Cram them in there. You can get over 100 in there plus easily.

The same place you put random cocks, in your mouth, then put the bags in the empty container.

It is clear that this is going to be a tough transition for you. Most of the rest of the developed world are already there and have been for quite a while. You will either learn to bring your own bags or you will pay the price for the store's....if they continue to have them at all.
Costco offers already used boxes to contain the shit you buy there, otherwise you will independently load each item seperately into your vehicle's cargo space.

You've just voiced my thoughts. How much water is wasted rinsing out recyclables? Oregon was the first state to require a deposit on recyclable beverage containers. We remain stuck at 5 cents per item. Except for some homeless bums, most of the rest of the folks toss their coke cans. Unfortunately, too many people are pigs who toss them out their vehicle's windows.

Can you go tell those protestors to go the fuck home and stop destroying your state? Do they realize someone has to pay for all that damage?
-

Where would this be? Just curious. If you don't chose to buy a Costco membership, you probably have no good reason to buy in bulk. This means you will be stuck purchasing those "cute" little reusable bags for your groceries. I just returned from a trip to Germany. Most people there bring bags or some manner of basket for their groceries. If you forget, you buy a bag to take your purchase home. This was true almost 30 years ago when I first visited there. The U.S. is woefully behind the rest of the world when it comes to recycling and reducing our imprint on the environment.

We are America, why should we strive to be more like Germany. Fuck that place. Its nothing but losers, bums, Muslim refugees at this point. They lost their country years ago.

Are you telling me that the protests are only happening in Oregon? I swear I saw violent protests in Pennsylvania on the news. Stupid me, I imagined they were happing all over, particularly in the strongholds of Democrats, such as major cities all across the nation.
Look, I said it before and I'll say it again. These protestors regardless of where they are, they are misguided. They can protest the election results all they want but it won't change anything. Donald Trump is the President elect.

Here is the funny thing about protesting. They meet up and make a nuisance of themselves. Break shit and the like.
If I were organizing a protest, I would gather up all the people and then have them do charitable deeds en masse, put them all to work. More people would be open to their cause and listening to them and they would actually be doing something productive on a large scale. Even if it was something like cleaning up the trash on the streets or building things or whatever...

That's actual work. And actually helps the community. These liberal snowflakes are lazy.

Yeah baby! A 72 year old man, admittedly pretty darn fit, wearing a thong (even with glitters) is not going to stop a bunch of angry protestors, even if it cannot contain the enormous size and heft of my junk. If this worked, I'd wear it to the supermarket just to show up all those old women in their yoga pants. ;D
-
Have you been to Germany?
No.

I go to Germany on biz about 4 times a year. And a shit load of other places in Europe and Asia.
The "be like Europe" idea is silly. On one hand I like the cafe's, bakeries, preservation of historic places, etc. On the other hand the hotels have rooms the size of closets, traffic congestion is as bad or worse than any US city, people smoke like chimneys, taxes are ridiculous, etc.
The idea of eliminating plastic bags is reasonable since they end up in landfills or on the ground anyways. But a voluntary effort is far better than a coerced one. My local grocery store sells grocery bags made of cloth for $1 and I use them. But to each his own. California is a freaking socialist mess and the number of residents fleeing there is huge. All that will be left are illegals and leftists soon. They can have it.

Can't argue with you regarding flight from California. My wife and I fled more than 50 years ago. We ended up being an inspiration for the rest of our family to follow suit. The last time I visited sunny southern California, it seemed like I was in a foreign land much closer to the equator. Never-the-less I miss the beach and the weather.

All those judgemental Muricans who never visited Europe themselves ::)

Come to Florida we got the bags and the females

All those EU countries have to bow to the think tank that is Brussells.
They get told what kind of milk container and toaster they can use.
Why would we want to emulate a failed system?
Countries with great wealth and resources are being told what to do by the elites from afar.
Sounds like the Democratic Party to me.
-
Ban California!
...except for chaos :)
-
Wish they would make plastic bags en non degradable packaging cost at least 1 dollar (or euro) instead of the measly 10 cents.
The pollution caused by sadistic people to the world's oceans, rivers, lakes and seas is immense.
Removing all the plastic junk so people can't throw it away seems the only solution (And lots of police plus high fines)
-

^ This. By adding a filler such as starch you can make a bag that degrades quickly. Soon this will be the norm.
