You have to turn in an expense report to get reimbursed by your company. So now, rather rather than turning in a little 1.5" x 3.5" register receipt from your business lunch, you go on-line and print out the receipt on 8.5" by 11" paper. Smart!

You've now used roughly NINE times as much paper.

There are so many Loony Leftist politicians in California they have to pull idiot cartoonish stunts like this to get noticed.

The stupid ideas they have to come up with to out virtue signal each other is ludicrous.

soooo clever. I'll refrain from the equally clever mama comparison.

Not a bad article — until he got to the bit about Amazon deliveries. There are plenty of good reasons to use additional packaging for deliveries. These include: privacy, security, protection from damage or breakage, ease of handling, storing, and retrieving of packages during delivery, to hide gifts, etc.

The real point is unwarranted encroachment into the marketplace, and associated limits on the rights of consumers and producers. It could have been worse — Sexton talks of using “incentives”, rather than an outright ban. However, we need to know more about these “incentives”. Incentives can vary from asking kindly, through subsidies from taxpayers, to punitive excise taxes that are tantamount to a ban.

Lunatics.

Although they may have an ulterior motive.... by making people give their email address, they can track every damn thing you buy, even if you pay cash and don’t use those shoppers discount club cards.

Big Brother be watchin’ you....

I figure the Democrats in the U.S. Congress (and some Republicans too) will soon latch on to this idea, make it manditory.

If they REALLY want to reduce paper waste, they should ban junk mail.

my heart isn’t quite unbroken since the dancer stole them and took them to that river town . . . but the vintage helmets help. the super bowl berth helped a lot more.
