That plastic wrap ban removal doesn't make sense to me.  A lot of my food is still wrapped in plastic    when did it become banned?

Makes sense to reduce plastic sure but going to banning extremes is also unnecessary.  Both wood forks and straws are fine with me btw. 

It's in court

There are many ways to reduce single use plastic consumption for the food industry, but it's obviously hurtful for some chemical industries while beneficial to others.
The plastic bag replacement was seen as a calamity at first.  Now, no grocery store would want to go back to that.

If I'm reading that correctly the regulation only addresses ready to serve food and not things like raw meat, which seems reasonable.  Maybe we'll end up bringing Tupperware to get take out food or paying a fee for a compostable container one day.  I was wondering how they would deal with the later.

I just listened to PP's campaign stop in Surrey British Columbia. He was asked a question by a friendly media person about whether he would stop antisemitism at universities and stop funding universities that were antisemitic.  I might as well have been listening to Trump.  He said that not one dime of federal money would go to universities who allowed antisemitism.

Elizabeth Warren on Colbert.  Lays out Democratic strategy on tariffs and insider trading.  I think tariffs is perfect and insider trading is a lemon.

Strategy is what I want, not gestures.

You mean she has a good plan that will fail on tariffs but a bad plan that will ultimately succeed on insider trading without making any political gains?

I'm at loss how the cult will move on anything.

He looks so jolly. And tall.


Someone on reddit found a boy's diary in a thrift shop where the kid noted on Stalin's death.
