The People's Republic of New York once again tells businesses what they can and cannot do.

[Viker]

Project 2025. Let's combine all the worst things corporations and big government are capable of into one super thing.

And stamp a Jesus logo on it.

 

[Valjean]

And as usual the left wing doesn't realize (or maybe they do) that they are losing their freedoms everyday, little by little , as subtile Government takeover and encroachment becomes The Epiphany of the Frog being slowly boiled to death in water without ever realizing it. All in the name of Safety and Security.

How can we live together in super-Dunbar numbers in chaotic anarchy?

We're not built to live together in large numbers, and we're built to exploit available resources without consideration of long-term consequences.

Anarchy worked fine when we hunted and gathered in isolated bands of a dozen or so individuals. It won't work today.

 

[Valjean]

Is it profitable to use one-time use bottles of shampoo?

Absolutely! At least it's profitable to manufacture and sell them. One bottle per day per room, can add up to big money.

 

[Valjean]

Well it is good for marketing. Who doesn't like a hotel where you can take the leftover shampoo home with you?

The bottles are good for two or three shampoos. That's a lot of waste per shampoo.

The attack now is on privately owned hotels who distribute small shampoo and other toiletry items by telling them by mandate they can no longer stock it for their customers by supreme dictate of great powerful chairwoman Kathy Hochul , Supreme Democrat of the People's Party of New York.

New York bans small shampoo, body lotion bottles from hotels

Those mini toiletries could soon be a thing of the past...

That is all. Now stand and respect the great empire state.

I'm not quite sure what problem you are seeing. And even less how you think this is Chinese-ian authoritarianism...

Telling businesses what they can and cannot do is exactly what local lawmakers are for ya nugget.

This is being imposed on the entire People's Republic of New York, not some town, and governments only tell businesses that they can and cannot do things like this in places like Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, Nazi Germany, Red China, and the USSR.

 

[anotherneil]

As expected, the OP lives down to its title.

LOL "down" - cute.

 

[anotherneil]

Wow, something that will save the hotel money while continuing to provide shampoo. Do you even read stuff you post?
Conservative media has you paranoid and fearful of the world. How's your blood pressure? Change your information outlets. Sheesh

Do you also buy into the broken window fallacy?

Someone claims that doing something will save businesses money and you believe it? Or is this weasel wording that omits part of the story, like the loss in business to both the private hotels & the state?

If something saves a business money then they'd be doing it without having to be told by the state to do it.

Why bother imposing a fine on a business that doesn't comply with such a supposedly money-saving policy if it would be in their interest to comply with it? That makes no sense.

I hope the Democrats will choose Hochul as their POTUS candidate to replace Biden, so no one will vote for them and their cancerous policies.

Governments tell businesses what they can do in every place on the planet.

I don't understand your objection to a democratically elected government representing the interests of the people. This doesn't appear to be a diktat from the Governor but part of perfectly normal legislation that was voted for by the state congress.

Also, did you note this from your own link?

Mark Dorr, president of the New York State Hospitality and Tourism Association, says his group supports the incoming ban, while noting about 75% of hotels have already implemented reusable bottles.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Governments tell businesses what they can do in every place on the planet.

How many governments tell businesses what they can and cannot do with perfectly legal products? Last I heard, plastic bottles are not illegal to possess and distribute.

 

[Twilight Hue]

If they do I have the Communist national anthem of China to play.

A person has to be blind not to see that the Democrat Party is trying hard to take over the means of production for businesses all the way from the automotive industry, to now the hotel industry, and to who knows what lays beyond that.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Look. I don't trust government all that well myself. But I trust corporations even less. I've worked as an executive for two. It ruined my lovey dovey feeling for corporate America. And the fact they ruined music, movies, millions of lives.

I don't disagree with that. I think corporate overreach is just as dangerous as Government overreach, and even worse when the two are in cahoots with each other.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Not as dangerous as Project 2025, amd you support politicians who want to force that Dominionist garbage on all of us.

If any of it crosses the line, I'll let you know or you let me know whichever comes first.

 

[Yerda]

All of them. There will be codes of practice, financial regulations, waste disposal rules etc. Every legal authority that any of us every come into contact with tells businesses what they can and can't do. This is what local authorities are meant to do.

Yes, but we are now in the era of spoiled adult children that resent having to be told how to respect the rights and well being of other children and adults. And the environment that we all live in. So they cry and whine and name-call whenever it happens. And now we have a whole political party pandering to their childish selfishness.

Right wingers, and US libertarians in particular, have the most underdeveloped and degenerate concept of freedom. For them it's all about the right to urinate in the well and never the right to clean drinking water.

Ending no fault divorce? Ending gay marriage? Centralizing power around the President? Federal ban on abortion? Ban on contraceptions? Condeming single mothers? Banning curriculum that discusses slavery?
