For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I wish we had a plastic tax. Everything is wrapped in so much unnecessary plastic.

NJ had a single use plastic bag tax. To get around it companies increased the thickness of plastic bags and gave it for free. Apparently the thickness is what separated a single use bag with a reusable one. Politicians are clowns ๐Ÿคก.

I would envision a plastic tax that is based on weight of the material created. Every ounce costs $.10.Make the producer last. Same with Styrofoam. That money could be funneled back to some green initiative.
