I would certainly like to have a conversqation with the fucknut that ran the math on this one! ’“Officials calculate that the city spends 5.2 cents per bag annually for street litter pickup and 1.4 cents per bag for extra recycling costs.”The article NEVER stated where the money went, (retailer? city?) or what it would be used for.
Considering it’s San Francisco it’ll go to either the pets for their comfort...or to the UN’s “3 Amigos” AIDS campaign!
Their argument makes no sense. It would if plastic grocery bags were the only garbage being picked up off the streets. I’d wager that’s not the case. So....if they are already paying cleanup crews, how does taxing 1 item save them any money? All this is is a backdoor way to add to the coffers. Amazing to me is the fact that Californicators can’t ever seem to get enough government involvement in their daily lives while the rest of us want just the opposite. What a bunch of fuckwads!
