You can get everything in a grocery store packaged in plastic, but you can’t get a plastic bag to carry them home.

See the corporations packaging the food, etc. are allowed to pollute the environment with plastic and taint the food with microplastics. It’s just the little people who have to be controlled and told what they can carry the plastics in.

You would think our world has no bigger concerns than shopping bags. The NJ police state banned plastic shopping bags a year and a half ago in various counties. I feel relieved knowing the government can micro manage our lives but can’t stop the egregious problems with immigration, crime and expenses.

You would think that is the case, but tackling real problems requires actual sacrifice, hard work, and running head first into trade offs. Our anointed leaders do not have the intestinal fortitude to address such problems like a $34 TT national debt with annual interest payments approaching $1 TT, an opioid epidemic, unfettered illegal immigration, and a homeless crisis. To be fair, it has been the government and unelected technocrats who caused such problems, so I do not think they are equipped to solve them. As the expression goes, "if you think the problem created by the government is bad, wait until you hear their solution."

The regime that caused these problems have no intention of solving them. They’ll just put some bandaids on the immigration issue cause it’s election time. Speaker Johnson, if he intends to be taken seriously, has got to stop the funding bill approved by the Senate. So far, he’s been pretty unimpressive.
