You guys have bags? We don't have bags in my part of the USA anymore. Plastic got banned and no stores have any paper bags.
In Victoria we didn't ban plastic, we made it so corps had to charge you for them. Really stupid.
Government legislated forced cost recovery and profits.
It's the future!
That's because capitalism has corrupted the entire political system and only allows measures that cut business expenses or increase consumer spending.
Notice how the only "single use" plastics that were cut were business expenses. Meanwhile every product at the supermarket, every product you buy online, every postage satchel and padding — all wrapped in layers upon layers of single use plastic (or styrofoam, lol).
