Banning crack did wonders to eliminating it.
Oh wait, the criminal class are going to commit crimes and the sheeple will submit to their nannymasters.
Dissolve the government. It does nothing productive.
i hate those damn styrofoam peanuts....they make a stinking mess...
Will he have to hire a special foam police to enforce the ban because the NYPD isn’t paying much attention to him now?
New York City to ban Styrofoam takeout, delivery food containers, packing peanuts, plastic cups, people ...
Driving even more businesses out of the city. Bravo!
As far as I am concerned, when the good people of New York City elected the guy they choose to lead them, whatever happens next, they deserve.
de blasio is an a$$hole. There will be no styrofoam on the streets, but crime will go up.
Business destroying tactics. IDIOT! Paper bags and boxes will be next.
We get our DOD MANDATED from Express Scripts Meds shoved in our mailbox UNSIGNED for, in a plastic sack!
Is he willing to have people choked to death over it?
It sounds like a crony deal to keep the NYT afloat. Without the packing peanuts, people will have to use newspapers again.
Now single-cigarette sellers will have a new commodity to traffic. Good thing NY is dedicated to solving the city’s most urgent problems /sarc.
More black markets are sure to evolve.
I am going to need to start an underground import business to smuggle Super Gulp sized sodas, ciggarettes, ammunition and clips and now styrofome cups and packaging.
Bolt is especially happy about the packing peanuts ban.
Don’t get caught driving through NYC with styrofome in your vehicle. Better toss it before you hit the city limits.
The only positive I can see in this upcoming disaster is the return of the iconic NYC blue coffee cups with Greek statuary designs.
They’ll have to use more expensive items and raise the price for the consumer.
But it does make me wonder: why is Dunkin' Donuts the only coffee shop in the city that uses styrofoam?
The paper coffee cup in blue and gold with the Parthenon styling has been a mainstay in NYC for decades.
The paper cup is more "green" - but it is also cheaper, much easier to stack and store, harder to puncture, and cheaper to customize as well.
Was it supposed to be iconic? A brand differentiator?
They’re not Styrofoam. I care more about the misuse of that word than I care about the takeout containers. Don’t mess with trademarks.
