Maryland May Ban Plastic Carryout Bags At Retail Shops – The Southern Maryland Chronicle https://ground.news/article/83df45a7-5862-4b61-b84c-07d98faccd7e

I definitely have mixed feelings about this kind of thing. Plastic grocery sacks are some of the handiest things out there. They are saying reusable bags are the way to go. Well they absolutely are! And no bag on earth gets reused as much as a plastic grocery sack!

All new and improved for 2021, it’s Plastic Grocery Sack! It’s not just for toting your EBT purchases anymore. It also works as a doggy poop picker upper, a handy dirty diaper bag and the easiest cat sand disposal unit you’ll ever find.

You can also use it as a laundry bag, lunch bag, rain hat, funny fake beard, storage for all the paper towels and tissues you use for kindling in the fireplace, low cost wrapping for your cups, glasses and dishes for when your asshole landlord gives you the boot because your job dissappeared during the pandemic and 100s of other handy uses! Get your now before the ban!

But seriously, for every one of those uses for the humble plastic grocery sack a brand new most likely plastic, bag will have to be created. Think about it.

The problem is what happens after it’s used again. It’s true, they do fuck up the machines. But the Government was upset because they had to pay someone to sort it. People need jobs, trash needs sorted. I’m working on some expanded ideas for my Waste Management Program (not mob related).

We also need to stop just chucking them or any trash all willy nilly around us. If people live in a trashy place then they are going to act trashy. Cleaning up the poorer areas all over should be a priority. Billions of dollars in tax money spent every year all over this nation and the Government says there is no money to clean up West Baltimore? Shit, the hustlers out there could get it done in less than a month and do the neighborhood a solid and hire the folks from around the way to help take anything worth it to the scrap yard, take that money and fix their own shit. Folks could learn some construction skills maybe flip some houses of there own and tell the city government to go fuck themselves 🖕

We are always treating the symptoms and not the disease. It’s no wonder we are dieing as a country.
