Austin Just Brought Paid Sick Leave to the South

Paper bags are recyclable, more durable, and keep your groceries from tumbling around better than plastic bags. Yet some republicans want to act like taking plastic bags away leaves us just one step away from absolutely tyranny. It's unbelievable.

I disagree. I never choose paper bags because they are awkward to carry and the handles are as reliable as a Boot's article. And groceries tumbling around? I don't have any issue with that with either bag, but plastic bags are definitely easier to carry and, the ones here in Cali at least, are thick as .

I don't see an issue with paying .10 per bag. You're either poor as or irresponsible for not bringing the ones building up under your sink or pantry.

Paper bags have a more fixed shape to them unlike plastic bags, that's why they keep things from tumbling around better in my experience. I can't count the number of ripped plastic bag handles and plastic bags I've had when I used to use them. Some businesses use higher quality plastic bags like Target, but at most grocery stores that go to (where they actually have plastic bags) they use quality to the point where they often have to layer them for anything remotely heavy.

I guess I'm just used to the ones we have out here. If they ins ute the .10 per bag fee in Texas and Texas uses the same quality ones we have here, you'll get some very heavy-duty, reusable plastic bags. I do remember the ty thin plastic ones, so that's a fair assessment.
