California Doing California Things

[bilby]

We are seeing plastics in our blood. That is a bad thing!

Is it?

Why?

There are studies that link microplastics in the blood to various health risks.

There are studies that link vaccines to autism. And yet, there is no actual link between vaccines and autism.

Can you point to any currently published studies linking vaccines to autism? There certainly was one a while back, which was withdrawn due to fabricated results.

You can look through the literature and decide for yourself to believe or not that microplastics are bad for human health.

No conclusions about health risks in this study.
It just shows what the found in human blood.
I just saw a nephrologist, so I am wondering what it does to my kidneys.

We have a plastic problem on this planet. We are seeing plastics in our blood. That is a bad thing!

There are lots of problems on this planet, plastic shopping bags are very minor when compared. Hundreds of people die on the streets of California cities every year because something bad got into their blood but Newsom bans plastic shopping bags. Priorities eh?

It’s virtue signaling nonsense typical of California libs.

Those toxins are also outlawed.

They’re caused by illegals. Swiz wants someone to promise him that they’re going to get rid of them, while fighting to make damn sure nobody gets rid them as long as he’s not president.

So no money spent on illegal drug related issues in CA? The entire CA budget is going to enforcing banning plastic bags.

Priorities eh?

Everything is virtue signalling for MAGA. Signaling a left turn, virtue signalling! Leaving a tip, virtue signaling! Holding a door open, virtue signaling!! Using public transportation, virtue signaling!!!!

now you know why it’s such a hellhole and no one wants to move there. Except homeless people.

Newsom took a budget surplus to a $65b deficit and here we are, fretting about grocery bags.

indeed, to little effect it seems. Perhaps banning the distribution of plastic syringes and meth pipes would have been more productive.

Newsom took a budget surplus to a $65b deficit

So he took office and then years later the budget had huge a surplus... and now it is in a deficit because projections on revenue were way too rosy.

and here we are, fretting about grocery bags.

Fretting? Do we need to wait until all of the other ills of the state of California are solved before fretting about smaller problems?

No, really is most things. It is either "woke" or "virtue signaling". Wearing a mask was virtue signaling, not getting Covid was virtue signaling... the term really loses its meaning when you use it all the time and vote for the guy that is guilty of more virtue signaling than Mick Foley.

 

[GenesisNemesis]

Speed limits are already the law. If you're not an illegal driver, why would it affect you?

Also send the car into auto-park mode and then turn it off. To get the car back from impound, you have to pass the driving test again.

Spoken like the authoritarian you are.

So you believe we should go easy on people who break the law?

For me depends entirely on the law. Marijuana possession? Sure, go easy.

It is a deficit because Newsom is an incompetent buffoon. Always has been.

It would be fine if this ban solved an actual problem but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't solve anything. Same as the ban on plastic straws, same as the earlier ban on single use plastic bags.

No, really is most things. It is either "woke" or "virtue signaling". Wearing a mask was virtue signaling, not getting Covid was virtue signaling...

An awful lot of the time it really is just virtue signaling and being woke.

This has been so informative. Today we learned that:

He (Newsom) "took office and then years later the budget had huge a surplus..."

...and that happened because:

"because Newsom is an incompetent buffoon. Always has been."

And that's why a Californian should vote for the apricot.
(And republicans wonder why they are thought to be morons... !)

Electing incompetent people to higher office isn’t just for minorities. It can happen with white men, too.

Wait, maybe it really is equal opportunity….

It is a deficit because they extrapolated revenue growth (which was inflated due to the end of the pandemic) too far out without adjusting projected revenue growth to return back to earth as the reopening bump was clearly going to be temporary. Gov. Newsom was not the first, nor the last politician to use over-rosy revenue projections for budgeting. The GOP famously made a massive tax cut ($1.3ish billion I think) for a $5.6 trillion 10 year federal surplus that never even happened.

Plastics are a problem. We can't do anything with them once we've used most of them... and in many cases once... for a few minutes.

For a person who doesn't give a damn what people think... you seem to judge a lot about what you think people think.

Newsom is an incompetent buffoon and should have been recalled like the other incompetent buffoon Gray Davis who fucked up in 2003. Newsom only survived the recall because Larry Elder entered the race.

Banning plastic grocery bags is just the latest irrational fixation for a couple of virtue signaling libs in Sacramento. It serves no purpose.

 

[Elixir]

It serves no purpose in Santa Monica

FIFY
YOU are not the sole purpose of government.

Your fixed version makes no sense though; tons of plastic bullshit washing up on the shores of Santa Monica does that community no more favors than it does Sacramento. Someone has to deal with the nonsense eventually, and though it is obvious TSwizzle is not the type to volunteer for a beach cleanup, others in his community most certainly pick up the tab for the excesses of the state on his behalf. That's no doubt why single use plastic bags were banned in Santa Monica itself more than a decade ago. They also have two different annual trade-in events (each "No-Bag November") to recycle and replace plastic bags for residents, for free. But the coastline does not respect city limits, so a statewide action was always going to be needed eventually. Why should the city government and city taxpayers have to shoulder all the costs of managing a shared coastline and beachhead whose problems largely originate in other polities?

Conservatives: people who shit their pants, wait for someone to come along and change their diaper, then complain about the quality of service.

It’s sheer hypocrisy to talk about incompetent elected officials out of one side of your mouth, and say you’re voting for the apricot out of the other.
Conservotards don’t even realize what fools they make themselves appear.
