It’s time to ban the ban.
We are banning everything from soup to nuts.
Some I can understand, such as gun bump stocks.
However, I don’t know anybody or their guns who have killed anybody — bump stocks or not.
We ban fish pens.
The pens were not monitored as well as our roads or the food industry, but are banned nevertheless.
People did not do their jobs.
Now we want to ban plastic bags.
Your bread, meat, vegetables, French fries and just about everything you buy at a grocery store comes in plastic bags of some sort.
My newspaper carrier puts my paper in a plastic bag to keep it dry.
Are we going to ban those too?
Why not ban fat, salt and sugar?
We don’t ban cigarettes.
Hard to understand is the 5-cent fee talked about for a bag.
The government isn’t entitled to any monetary reward collected resulting from a fee.
Any fee collected for bag usage belongs to the business imposing it.
Can they make a profit off a fee?
You bet they can and they will.
The cost of bags is already included in the cost of doing business paid by the consumer.
There is a ban I support and that is fish nets.
I think nets do more harm to our ecosystem than all the rest of the bans things combined.
Before my mom died and went to heaven — which some people want to ban — she taught me to be self-reliant and not depend on people who think they know what’s best for me.
