You literally laughed at them! I didn't expect that response from you, but it's why I responded with that quote.

I laughed at the "working class people" card. You and Donald Trump have a lot in common.

You know this isn't about the environment though. It's all about creating more revenue for local governments. If it were about the environment they would start with eliminating the plastic on all the products in grocery stores.

What do Trump and I have in common? Are you under the impression that I'm some denisdman type of rich guy just using working class people as some abstract example to make an argument? I'm speaking from what I know.

From what I understand those, these specific bags make up an inordinate amount of local pollution and end up in lakes and rivers in huge numbers which causes issues not only when they first get there but as they break down.

Also, many of them are complete bans. I'd much prefer a ban over a tax. Do you agree?

So the issue isn't with the bags. It's with how people discard them.

We should ban littering.

I kinda wondered if you were the type of fella to have kneepads.

These bags are recycled by every store chain. And they provide places to drop them off.

They can do that with paper bags just as easily.

Use Target style bags and that problem is solved.

Of course I would. That isn't the point.

Thank you.

It's just another bullshit tax.

Ok, let's keep the tax stuff out of it since it gets people so fired up.

A ban is ok though right?

Well we certainly agree on that issue. What are we up to now, three things?

I doubt I would support a ban, but I'd have to at least see a reasonable CBA first. The link your OP didn't have one.

Awesome. You already showed me how you have to carry your latest tax return around in your wallet. What else do I need to know?

So, the leaded gasoline ban, good or bad?

MANY people are saying that it was great. TOTALLY different than an argument at plastic bags. IF we are okay with plastic everywhere else in the grocery store why not ban thin plastic bags. Clearly Target plastic bags aren't causing the same problems.

We'll start with properly securing your alcoholic beverage and then move on to discretely removing replica talk show host cut outs. From there, we'll discuss preference items in the AMT since you have shown an interest in tax returns.

I think that would be a good discussion too but we can't solve everything in one movement.

The funny thing is while I was in the act I remember thinking I was being pretty discreet. By the time I got to the door I thought I was home free.

Who's idea was that by the way? It wasn't mine.

No clue. But it was legendary.

leash and I, I think.

From our vantage point, you missed that fine line of confidently going about your work while not making any overt movements to otherwise attract attention ... close, but no cigar.

Which is a bummer b/c I figured we could do something (what exactly, I don't know ... didn't have to bother thinking about it) along the lines of what they did in Major League ... or you could've done a running travelogue of sorts by taking it places and taking pictures of it with a sentence or two like a lot of internet fruits love to do.

I have 3 of these that are about 5 years old. My wife found someone who makes them and the bags are very sturdy. You can cram a lot of groceries in them. I always use them.

Paper > Plastic

If they have handles you can carry MANY at a time. Try shopping at somewhere a little more high class than Jewel and maybe you can get yourself a better bag.

What places have the handles on the paper bags (which, as you say, are far superior)? Trader Joe's? Fresh Market maybe? I don't get out much so you'd have to tell me.
