Yep...Gov subsidizing of a thing will surely DECREASE the price of the thing...right?

Fancy. Government finding another way to steal from the public via virtue signaling.

Ridiculous... housing prices here are going through the roof. If you can't afford to live here, you need to move out. I'm seriously contemplating selling my home, taking the equity, and buying a house back down in the South to escape this place. Those leftists from the west coast have invaded and brought their failing ideology with them.

So what happens when people stop using plastic bags?


Then they cut down on pollution. In Austin, we have to pay for every bag we get at checkout. That’s why a lot of people bring reusable bags. It’s really not that crazy of a concept.

Most of California already has that.

You have to carry your own to the store like the Europeans.

Taxing paper bags alongside plastic ones is dumb as hell. It's paper! It degrades!

You're assuming that the true reason behind the tax is environmental concerns. Nope, it's because the regressives need another tit to suck at!

So housing prices, an indicator of affluence, are going up.....but you knock the people responsible for it?

The reason that housing prices are up is because smart and well educated people are moving in. If ghetto people were moving in, you think prices would be going up?
