Didn't California almost do that? Gas taxes pay for highways, and they were righteously angry that wealthy people who got electric car subsidies wouldn't be paying their fair share of the roads.
I think one of the midwestern petrostates implemented an EV Sin Tax. Like, it got through their legislature not as a a replacement for the gas tax, but as punishment for any gotdang libruls who would buy an EV instead of doing their patriotic duty to support the petroleum industry. Maybe one of the dakotas?
Paper bags are nice and all but they will rip if you put too much heavy stuff in them. Also, better hope there's no rain or your paper bag is gonna dissolve on you

Austin banned them and the Texas legislature made it illegal to ban plastic bags
Petrochemicals are big business in Texas
Yeah I think they are adding electric vehicle taxes
I agree with this actually fuck tax credits for rich people
It makes sense. Gas tax pays for infrastructure, and you still need money if cars are electric.

Plastic bag bans are just recuperation and greenwashing. Plastic bags are not the problem, capitalism is.
what'd actually work is taxing stores for single-use plastics but noooo only the consumer can eat the costs of going green
Instead they just banned plastic bags outright and let the stores charge for paper bags as compensation for enforcing the mandate.
Now that I think about it that is a perfect encapsulation of neoliberalism.
Fucking plastic bags. Like who likes plastic bags?

And the just want to own the libs
yea that plays into it too but i think theres a deeper pathology at play here. Owning the libs is a fun treat but it’s not mother’s milk.
They're sorta handy though

Just use a tote or carry it all in your arms like a real sigma
:I-was-saying: I always forget the reusable bags at home and I don't trust paper bags
