Fleecing the consumer is all this is. I wish I could get people to understand that fact.

It's that with the fees, but it is also virtue signaling and forced compliance. Compliance is going to be mandatory on a lot worse things than bags. I refuse to be compliant; I won't pay the fees or use reusable bags or behave in any way they want me to behave. I'll bring my stash of grocery bags, or trash bags, or a plastic tub I put in my cart. If they don't want me to use plastic, then I will make a point to keep using plastic. Civil disobedience is a must as they push stupid shit like this and force us to conform to their will.

It is like the CA Redemption Value charge for the soda and drinks in CA. The add that tax to each bottle and you are supposed to redeem the empty bottles for a percentage of the tax back for recycling. Most people don’t bother to return the bottles so the state keeps the tax money.
It’s a scam.

On a related note, I noticed stacks of paper bags at my local Walmart.

I guess Walmart supports the rape and destruction of our planet through deforestation? Wasn?t that the narrative when everyone switched from paper to plastic years ago?

If people gave a shit about the health and wellbeing of our planet they would support and promote genocide. Drastically reducing the population of the planet is a much better solution than trying to decide what kind of bags those billions of people should be using.

You said the quiet part out loud... not that I disagree, lol.

I thought that maybe the whole covid thing was going to help thin the herd but an entire planet full of pussies hunkered down and hid. Maybe we?ll get a real pandemic that there is no hiding from and whatever?s wrong with our planet will suddenly correct itself.

In the meantime I think I?m going to go the Amazon plastic bag route.

Killing your fellow Man en masse will not fix the issues of this planet. That is an old lie that was most recently made semi popular by the Eugenics people after WW2 trying to claim the earth was overpopulated in order to be able to continue to fund their Eugenics programs after such topics became unpalatable to the average consumer of news and information in the Western world. Which is laughably ridiculous to anyone on its face, unless you have never traveled outside of a city or densely populated county. Here in Hawaii they charge for bags to, usually just bring a backpack to throw stuff in. Or push the cart straight to the car, unload everything into a cooler or box.

I am surprised that the ZPG Zero Population Growth movement has not become popular again.
There was a lot of support in the late 60s and 70s, but it sure has faded away.

I’ve ordered from Amazon the same plastic bags that the stores used to give us. About 4? each. The reusable bags probably make more sense financially, but it’s worth it, simply out of spite. They can’t charge me a fee for my own bags.
