Another sign of the Apocalypse

The intent of the new ordinance—which also restricts the distribution of other single-use items like napkins and utensils—is to prevent waste and combat climate change, according to its authors.
Because climate change is the most urgent problem facing Los Angelese.

If having to remember to ask for stuff is the apocalypse, then so far the 4 horsemen seems like a pretty chill group of dudes.
Hey, I can get down with mocking Californians. But once I hear the word “apocalypse” that’s like troll catnip for me 🤣
Homeless likely have a lower carbon footprint. But, we must consider the effect of their unsanitary living on the local environment as well. They use the street and sidewalks as toilets. Many with drug addictions don’t think twice about leaving used syringes littering playgrounds.
I laugh - as it’s not worth crying - when I see a tent with a solar panel above it. An environmentally conscious homeless drug addict!? Ya don’t say! Probably a vegan too! Lol! Just what I need - a homeless guy wearing his underpants over his actual pants - lecturing me about my carbon footprint!
i wonder how the airport officials react whenever they do a luggage check and see all these ketchup packets.
The cheapest area to get a 1 bedroom apartment in the Bay Area is the Oakland area at $1684. Somebody working 40 hours a week need to be making equivalent $31/hr. Fine for tech workers, less fine for the jobs that were acknowledged to be essential during the pandemic.
I am not going to campaign for anybody’s rights. But I personally don’t blame people who say “fuck it” and drop out of society—since from my vantage point that is a pretty rational thing to do.
Either home prices/rent has to drop OR wages have to increase OR just let the homeless do whatever they please and mind yer businesses. Maybe some type of super developed Roomba can get deployed to sweep up the streets of poop.
But hey, at least the conversation has shifted over (from my viewpoint anyways) to something that’s a bigger deal than ketchup packets and napkins.
If this bothers you so much you're kinda sick in the head.
And the same morons hitching about the homeless problem are the same ones who will call approaches to tackling the problem "socialist "
And European ketchup isn't as sweet as the American one. Most Europeans find the sweetness of American foods disgusting
You have to be a weirdo to complain about stuff that's better for everyone.
And I'm not against the idea of bringing my own straw or if it's on the go, forgoing any napkins or utensils. Matter fact, I'm gonna start making paper utensils fit for take out and sell them en mass.
There are already safety nets for people who are struggling financially but have a sober and sound mind. Section 8 housing. Medicaid. Food stamps. Shelters. You can argue whether that’s enough, but there are programs to keep them off the streets.
There used to be enough mental health facilities to treat and house those unable to fend for themselves. There is a role for government at alll levels in funding those facilities adequately.
Remember you can still ask for ketchup and/or mustard. And you don’t even need to tell them why you want it. So if you’re thinking “I DON’T WANT TO ADMIT THAT I LIKE TO USE MUSTARD AS LUBE” just remember that you don’t have to do so. In fact, I’m confident that the waitress doesn’t want that information.
Now that I’ve resolved this issue all that is left is a hearty YOU’RE WELCOME
I’m all balls - I need a small cup or a puddle of ketchup on my plate to deeply dip my fries in. Spurting a little on them with those packets is JV.
As @Mark94 mentioned; for many of these folks being homeless is not the problem but the symptom of a different problem and giving them a home doesn't really solve much (during Corona when they put up homeless in hotels they often tore up the rooms and became drug dens).
Back in California though Liberals took total and complete control of the state and took about two decades to destroy it. Physically I’m in love with the place but it’s just run by assholes and I’m not sure if there’s any hope for the future. Anybody with half a brain gets the fuck out of there. But I hope that cycle I mentioned can save it but these wokesters are something else, it’s like some sort of mental illness where they are unable to recognize how shitty things are getting or just out right dangerous. Living in complete denial.

And it was Reagan who gutted the social safety nets ie mental health veteran benefits etc and caused a homeless epidemic. As CA governor he also caused the watts riots when he opposed integration snd the Civil rights act.
And the ACLU created the homelessness mess.
As far money, nobody has a bigger shovel than California. Home of the Tech industry, no question. But middle class taxpayers are wondering where is ROI for a state with so much wealth? The answer is it's being squandered by corrupt, inept and quite frankly mentally ill elected officials.
Icee when you finally get a job and maybe even one day run a business maybe you will finally see the light. But for those who don't pay taxes and contribute well I guess who cares right? Fuck it!
Get so horny you have to pay a hooker lately?
Well, Mr. Icee, Mr. Mark can be upset.
This thread is a perfect illustration of why it is fun to fuck with the “politically engaged” TUSCLers. It starts by calling a perfectly reasonable attempt to reduce trash by mandating that restaurants not give you shit you’re going to throw away and freaks out over it. Then it swerves into homelessness. Mr. Mark actually made a good point about the homeless but then the tread turns into a bitch fest about how horrible dem librulz iz.
Here’s a Phil phact(tm) that I’m going to let you in on. Rich, well-educated liberals - the kind of folks who spend $1.2M for an 800 sq ft condo in San Francisco because the like living in San Francisco - don’t like homelessness. They’d love to solve it. But they’re also hypocrites who don’t want to put any real effort or money into solving the issue. Plus, it’s hard to solve. So, they make sure the homeless have the opportunity to get a slice of turkey on Thanksgiving and a ham sandwich on Christmas and figure the rest will work itself out.
But you’re also fucking hypocrites. You bitch and bitch and bitch about homelessness in California. I’m sure that means the good conservatives have wiped out homelessness in the states they control. Yep, I’m sure there are no homeless in Texas or in Dugan’s utopia.
Didn’t Jesus say some shit about dealing with the beam in your own eye before fucking with the mote in your brother’s eye? Maybe you folks should consider that Jesus shit. Some folks say he was wise. Of course, a lot of those folks believe that two of every species on the planet fit in a single boat, so I guess a lot of those folks are morons. But the beams and motes and eyes shit is still pretty wise. You should try to live by that one.
You’re welcome.
It's all good Icee we're gonna bring you up in this game. When you have a job, your a tax payer, you see innocents get hurt due to stupid policies, you start to see the light. We need to get you started on reading Milton Friedman's "Free to Choose" throw out Communist Maniefesto trash that your middle school teachers gave you. You gonna be alright.
100% true, couldn't of described me better myself. But I do get off my ass everyday and go to WORK and contribute to this country. Give it a try sometime.
The common theme is expressed by asking the question “ What is the proper role of government ?”
1. Is it to micro manage every aspect of our lives to force people to live in a manner approved by government bureaucrats ?
2. Or, is it organize a society where people have the freedom to make their own choices ?
And, it’s worth pointing out that every dictator, tyrant, and fascist in world history believes number 1 is the correct answer.
You have every right to make the choice to move to Texas or florida

SCORECARD BITCH. WHO IS DA TROLL
Exactly! That’s what the progressive left doesn’t seem to understand. Today ketchup packets, tomorrow unlimited bread sticks, and Monday strip clubs
Presumably we all go to clubs. (I think ???). Someday something will be taken away you do care about
