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

[Revoltingest]

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?

The only sin that's safe under Trump is inter-racial
marriage....because Justice Thomas would be
personally affected.

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.

"However, the days of collecting them could soon be numbered due to a growing movement to ban single-use bottles in hotels and replace them with refillable multi-use products."

So they will still provide toiletries for guests to use. Refillable ones.

"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."

Properties found to be flouting the ban will be fined, with all funds poured into an environmental protection fund used for conserving farmland, restoring historic sites and purchasing land to be turned into forest preserves."


And most have already switched to refillable bottes, as noted in the article.

And our glorious supreme chairwoman is indeed very proud of our loyal and patriotic lawmakers who unceasingly meets the needs of the great people's state beyond all expectations , and to the greatest highest happiness of the hotel owners who are very appreciative of the intervention of the great people's party here, saving them the disgrace of issuing those dirty filthy bottles that pollute the great glorious motherland of this fine empire.

Yep. From your article:

Yes true Peoples Republic run hotels should never offer small bottles and toiletries so the thieving customers cannot take any of it home with them, and then having them throwing those bottles in the ocean.

Thanks to our Supreme chairwoman of the Glorious People's Republic of New York, people won't have to run and waste resources to get to the ocean just the toss in those bottles.

One could smell the fresh People's Republic air already!

Ahhhhhh.......

Sounds like you're overreacting. Big time.

 

[fantome profane]

Such a shampoo is probably doable. I use only True Earth laundry strips, which require just a small cardboard box packaging for 3 years worth of laundry. No plastics at all, and it works just as well as any other laundry detergent I've ever tried.

I have something very similar to that for shampoo. The problem is that they come in plastic containers. But I don't think they need to.

And they are quite expensive, but that does not need to be the case either.

Pro tip: bring your own shampoo if you can.

I've always brought my own. Usually the ones in hotel rooms aren't very good anyway.

 

[SkepticThinker]

Gotta get thrown in somehow.

And you think it's from people walking up to the ocean and just chucking them in?
Really??

 

[SkepticThinker]

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.

What freedom has been lost here?

Pro tip: bring your own shampoo if you can.

If you run out of shampoo, can you use the real thing?

 

[SkepticThinker]

The only thing I whine over is government overreach because its dangerous to freedom. I could care less what you think about it otherwise.

What's so "dangerous to freedom" about this? Be specific.

 

[SkepticThinker]

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.

Actually, governments tell businesses what they can do all over the free world too. All the time.

It's why they have to adhere to food safety standards.
It's why employees have to wash their hands before serving you food and can't put poison in the food they serve you.
It's why you don't have to be worried that the restaurant you're dining in is about to burn to the ground because you don't know whether they've followed building codes or not.
And on and on and on ....

 

[SkepticThinker]

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.

Did you read the article?

I am noticing a pattern. You were, or still are, upset about limits on plastic bags. Now you are going to the defense of plastic bottles.

Do you work in the plastic industry? Do you make money on plastics somehow?

Don't make this into something about the plastic bottles or even plastic bags like some people like to do. This is about government overreach and attempts to control businesses

 

[Twilight Hue]

What's so "dangerous to freedom" about this? Be specific.

The danger part is government likes to think it now owns business much like the Communist and Marxist countries do.

 

[Twilight Hue]

What freedom has been lost here?

You should ask businesses who oppose such bans and they'll tell you what freedom they lost as a business.

 

[fantome profane]

This is about plastic. This is about plastic and the significant negative impacts plastic has on the environment, ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. This is about plastic in the oceans, in the landfills and in our blood.

Can you explain without all the hyperbole and melodrama?

As per your article, 75% of hotels in New York have already been using refillable bottles. So I'm not sure we'd get the answer you're looking for, from them.

I've posted the line about this from your article at least twice in this thread. Why no response?

Because it's fine if hotels want to use refillable containers. It's also fine if they don't want to use them and use disposables instead.
