   TFW blue states are cracking down on "single use plastics"
   
   Nevermind the fact that plastic grocery bags get reused by most people.
   
   Hell, I use them as garbage bags for my bathroom trash can plus whenever I travel I use one as my toiletry bag and then another just for my toothbrush so it doesn't rub against anything like deodorant, hair product, etc.
   
   Plastic grocery bags are very versatile and get multiple uses (at least here in the south).
   
   However the plastic container strawberries come in, the Saran wrap meat comes in, and the plastic bags most frozen things come in all of which will never be used again and are actually single use plastics? Yeah, those are fine because big corporations use them. You're just a serf. You're not allowed to reuse things you didn't pay for.

     @sjw if they had bags like dollar tree does it'd be better imo (they're thicker and easier to reuse).

     @LukeAlmighty @LukeAlmighty Actually starting today any delivery truck (from U-Haul to semis) with an engine built before 2010 is not allowed on the roads in California.
     
     They made around 10% of the delivery trucks in use in California illegal overnight.
     
     I'm excited to see how this plays out for them.

     There's so many examples of long proven technologies that are being ignored because we need to chase stuff that's perpetually "just 5 more years away"
     
     Electric streetcars are 100 year old technology, and they're basically gone but busses filled with materials mined by african child slaves are the new hotness.

     @bronze If they actually wanted to reduce carbon they'd build high-speed rail between all major cities in the US.
     
     It's questionable if the carbon it takes to mine and build the batteries for electric cars really makes them that much better but since most of the carbon heavy activities happen in China it doesn't count apparently.

     remember that you can run numerous older diesel engines on refined biodiesel but instead let's scrap it all and force costly upgrades because big oil would be madder.

     the thing is, its not about carbon at all.
     Its about rolling out the botnet on wheels future, where your car is monitored 24/7 and your freedom to travel trampled.

     I've refused to consider a car with an electric e-brake for one good reason: I've seen what happens when they fail.
     
     They will not work and you'll get a dash light on for something that for it to fail on an old car, you needed either a cut or rusted cable or brake failure.

     tbf, the parking pin on a modern automatic transmission is plenty to keep a car from rolling away, or it'd be a much bigger issue than it is.
     
     Different issue if you're driving a standard, of course. Unless you just leave it in gear when you park.

     When I used to work at an auto repair shop I tried to stop a car like that.
     
     It failed miserably until I used the physical parking brake and all I heard was CLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICK

     It definitely stopped the car when the brakes failed, but you need to remember that this was a dinky location off a popular highway near redneckville, and I was only going like 5mph.
     
     This guy was DRIVING the car broken like this. Absolutely dangerous, but there were a lot of death traps that should not have been on the road that people were bringing in for oil changes to these types of places.
