Prop 67 passed - Plastic bags are now verboten in the People's Socialist Republik of Kalifornia. 5,730,004-for 5,154,455 - against

This pisses me off so much.
I keep forgetting to get my reusable bags when I go into the People's grocery store.

But paper bags are made out of trees and that causes deforestation and destroys the habitats of the little civet. Don't you like civets?

Just a general statement for when people who dont even live there start crying about it. Is it ok with you if I say that?

I feel your pain buddy. ATX has had the ban since 2013, no thanks in part to many of your former comrades transplanted from the Republik of Kalifornia.

Of course. I was just curious as to your angle. I see, I'm able to confirm it's as stupid as I suspected.

As much as this is a stupid law, plastic bags do cause a major litter problem...

Side note, ever get one wrapped around your drive shaft...?

My biggest complaint would be figuring out what to pick up my dog's crap with if I didn't come home with 10 plastic bags a week.

This is a good thing.

Everyone should use reusable bags.

Just follow their scold up with the People's Eyebrow and if they give you any lip, the People's elbow.

I went to a convenience store in Austin this summer to pick up some water and Mt. Dew.

The lady behind the counter asked me for by bag. I had no idea about the law so I said if she was out I would make do. She told me about the law and sold me a plastic bag anyway.
