    While that’s true, I think the complaint here is that the the law deliberately harms poor people only. Instead of banning individual plastic applications, we should be taxing literally all plastics and letting consumers decide what’s worth it. And if we are to take a case-by-case class warfare approach, we should be going after the excesses of the wealthy - like private jets.

    It’s not that they’re the same thing, it’s that they both hurt the environment and are treated very differently.

      Wait till they find out what plastic is made out of and how that impacts carbon emissions.
