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

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

Yup. Convenient how he left that one out when discussing everything else that needs to go. That issue the MAGAs can leave alone despite MAGAs probably making most Americans who actually still object to that.

Jungle fever is still safe for white supremacists.

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

So is this to say that you do not know?

 

[McBell]

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.

Not in New York

Why? I don't give a damn what people think who fret over lead being banned in many things either.

That's a symptom of the race traitor disease.

 

[Twilight Hue]

So is this to say that you do not know?

Oh I know all right. Pretty much along the lines of controlling the means of production and distribution by the state.

 

[Revoltingest]

That's a symptom of the race traitor disease.

Only if there's romance or marriage.

 

[McBell]

Oh I know all right. Pretty much along the lines of controlling the means of production and distribution by the state.

Wow.
You got all that from the banning of plastic bottle that 75% plus already do not use?

Most impressive.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Wow.
You got all that from the banning of plastic bottle that 75% plus already do not use?

Most impressive.

I'm sure the 25% is equally impressed.

 

[McBell]

I'm sure the 25% is equally impressed.

Is the other 25% complaining about it as much as you?

 

[Twilight Hue]

Is the other 25% complaining about it as much as you?

Probably.

 

[McBell]

Probably.

You mean you do not know?
If you do not know, how can you speak for them?

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

I believe protecting the environment is one of the fundamental duties of the government, and regulating commerce in order to do so is one of the proper roles of the government. Why? Because the environment is part of the commons and government is charged with the protection of the commons.

 

[TagliatelliMonster]

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.

Is this a joke?

 

[TagliatelliMonster]

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.

But plastic is known to be a serious polluting problem.
So expect more and more regulation concerning its use.

We see this everywhere.
In Belgium for example, supermarkets today also are prohibited to distributed free plastic bags at the register like they used to. Now, they sell reusable bags and customers are motivated to bring bags with them to put their groceries in.

Suppliers of cookies etc have also received regulations concerning their packaging, as in how much % of the packaging can be plastic.
Same for delivery services like amazon-like webshops.

This is a good thing and not some kind of "communist plot".

 

[TagliatelliMonster]

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.

Because they implement regulations regarding throw-away plastics?

Really?

 

[TagliatelliMonster]

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.

Well, no, that's not fine.

Just like it's not fine for car companies to insist on producing dirty diesel engines.
Just like it's not fine for roofing companies to insist on still use asbestos in roofing.
Just like it's not fine for producers of spray cans to still use CFK gasses.
Just like it's not fine for plumbers to still use lead pipes.

 

[TagliatelliMonster]

Oh I know all right. Pretty much along the lines of controlling the means of production and distribution by the state.

You mean "regulating the means of production" to ensure profit and greed doesn't lead to environmental destruction.

Name me an industry in any country where such regulation doesn't happen.

 

[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.

So you advocate anarchy?
