New York State banned plastic bags in January 2020 which ended up being pretty bad timing with covid but they didn't back off it. Only restaurants can use them now for take out. Grocery stores its paper or reusable only.

Wait you're back! What happened, everyone thought your account was deleted?
thinking about beloved tv shows being canceled for no reason by people who don't know shit about media industry but somehow get their hands on everything. hate how these people are still allowed to be in charge and continue to grab money for themselves and ruin art for others
