Of all the blithering idiocy perpetrated by the California government
California Attorney General Rob Bonta listens to Gov. Gavin Newsom during a news conference on gun legislation Friday, July 22, 2022. , the obsessive regulation of grocery bags is possibly the most puzzling.
SB 270 was supported by major grocery chains, irritated that 87 cities and counties in California had already enacted their own bans on plastic grocery bags. The California Grocers Association wrote in a letter of support for the statewide law, “California’s grocery industry faces a dizzying array” of local ordinances regulating carryout bags, a situation that was “untenable.”
Judging by all this regulatory fidgeting, you might think plastic bags were the single largest contributor to plastic waste in the ocean. Not even close. Well, if that’s the case, why don’t we see cities, counties and the state banning the sale of cigarettes?And why are cities, counties and the state going after plastic bags, plastic utensils, plastic food containers and plastic straws?“According to the author,” states the recent analysis of SB 1053 prepared for the Senate floor vote, “Eliminating plastics is about fighting big oil.”The quotation continues, “As our grid moves to renewable sources, oil companies are not ending their drilling.
Last year, Gov. Gavin Newsom spearheaded and signed a law directing state regulators to penalize oil refiners for “excess profits.” This year, denouncing profits during price spikes, Newsom called a special session of the legislature to demand a law giving regulators the power to direct refinery maintenance schedules and control oil inventories.
