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

Have you considered why this law was enacted? Have you weighed the benefits and risks?
Isn't one of government's jobs to protect us from our own short term foolishness; to prevent future harm?
Yes plastic bottles will be the certain doom of all society.

As a side note, I myself hate plastic personally.

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
And it is good for the environment to boot. I fail to see the downside.

It is just one factor. There are so many human beings that our actions often have negative side effects. In India they can trace thousands of deaths to the depopulation of vultures. A drug used for cattle tends to kill vultures if the cow dies. Without vultures to clean up carrion water supplies have been contaminated and diseases have spread as a result. No one tried to kill the vultures, it was an unwitting accident. Now plastic is showing up in our own bodies. Are you sure that will not have an effect on us some day?

As usual, the conservatives ignore the Big Picture and long-term effects, in favor of the status quo and profit.

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.

Well it is good for marketing. Who doesn't like a hotel where you can take the leftover shampoo home with you?
I don't use those shampoos. Too many petroleum based stuff and other nasties, and cheap shampoos make my hair look frizzed and bad.
Ans once again you are not entitled to freebies from a business.

It's the business that decides that. Not you. Not the government.

It sounds like its you who are demanding freebies.
Nope. Freebies are nice but I don't demand them.

Ever stopped to notice those freebies oftentimes has the business name on it?

A lot of them like it because it's a good marketing tool like free demos are to a game and free samples in the grocery store lead to entice purchases from within. Buy 1 get one free....

Plus such freebies are already budgeted in.

The business should decide if an employee is whipped or not! The business should decide if guest is poisoned or not! The business should decide if the environment is murdered or not!

Spare me.

Whining over the loss of stupid little bottles and generic shampoo.
The only thing I whine over is government overreach because its dangerous to freedom. I could care less what you think about it otherwise.

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

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.

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