At what point are they going to stop these idiot tree-huggers from banning everything?
We kept asking how stupid it was when they ban plastic bags but not all the shit they sell in the stores, right? Well, ask and ye shall fuckin' get it up the ass, Skippy. Here they go going after the wrappers and the containers. A sweeping New York State recycling bill calls for scores of companies to stop using plastic wrap when packaging products, which critics gripe could leave crucial everyday items such as diapers and toilet paper soggy.
The proposed Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act would require companies with net income exceeding $5 million that sell or distribute certain materials and products to reduce and phase out 'toxic or non-reusable packaging', replacing it with 'reusable and environmentally friendly alternatives'.
Other states have similar green-packaging programs, including Maryland, Maine, Oregon, Colorado, California and Minnesota, and some countries employ them, too.
“New York State must follow suit to meet the moment for environmental accountability,” said the memo justifying the legislation sponsored by state Assemblywoman Deborah Glick (D-Manhattan) and state Sen. Peter Harckham (D-Peekskill). Of course it's dimwitted Dimorats. No sane/normal person could come up with stupid shit like this.
“This legislation shifts the onus of recycling and waste hauling for packaging from municipalities and residents and ensures that producers of products are serving our interests by establishing solutions to sustainable packaging,” the memo said.

The price might actually be lower. Take a look.

"I didn't know that - did you"? (Part two)
Is driving becoming a luxury in Germany? For many young people in Germany, getting a driver's license has become almost unaffordable. Calls for reform are growing louder, but will it be enough?
Learning to drive in Germany these days requires more than just patience. It also takes a lot of money. According to Germany's largest automobile club, the ADAC, obtaining a driver's license can cost anywhere between €2,500 ($2,839) and €3,500 ( $4,111.62), in some cases, even more. For young people, still in education, it is becoming a luxury.
Although a driver's license obtained in one EU country is valid across the bloc, how you get there is still regulated nationally. Each country has its own driving school concept, which in turn determines the price.
In Germany, driving education is extensive and strictly regulated by law. Learners must complete a minimum of 14 theory sessions and 12 practical driving lessons. By contrast, Poland offers a less tightly regulated program of 26 theory and 30 driving lessons costing only between €600 ($ 705.00) and €900 ( $ 1,055.00).

But the friggin' kids can't even read? What are we doing - or not doing?
And the Post reports that he may have gotten in hot water for his trouble. The videos, posted on TikTok, show the teenagers failing to read a sentence on a piece of paper while being filmed at the city’s Preparatory Charter School of Mathematics, Science, Technology and Careers. In the clip, made by user “whatthevek” earlier this week, not a single high school-aged student was able to read the sentence, “She wore a silhouette of clothes that were extraordinary but somewhat gauche.”
He made a follow-up video a day later in which the students were apparently unable to make sense of the sentence, “The colonel asked the choir to accommodate the governor’s schedule.” The two videos racked up a combined 1.7 million likes and thousands of comments, but “whatthevek” later claimed he wouldn’t be making a third due to threats from authorities at Prep Charter.
“I would post a part three, but the school board is trying to expel me, stop me from going to prom, and stop me from walking at graduation. I don’t know chat,” he wrote in an Instagram story on Friday.
South Philly-based Prep Charter, one of the most diverse schools in the state, did not respond immediately to requests for comment. State test scores show that just 53% of students at the school tested proficient in reading, and just 19% were proficient in math.

Long and short of it? If you're ever going to Amazon, do me a favor - come to

"I didn't know that - did you"?
Botanically speaking, banana plants are not trees because they lack woody tissue; instead, they are classified as large herbs. What appears to be a trunk is actually a “pseudostem” made up of tightly packed leaf bases. This structure supports the plant but is not made of wood, which disqualifies it from being a true tree.
Furthermore, the banana fruit itself meets the botanical criteria of a berry: it develops from a single ovary, contains multiple seeds (even if underdeveloped in cultivated varieties), and has a soft, edible pericarp. So despite appearances, the banana plant is an herb, and the banana is technically a berry.
An Obama blunder in a green $2.2 billion boondoggle...
The Ivanpah Solar Power Plant, a sprawling 3,500–acre facility in the Mojave Desert near the California–Nevada border, was built with federal support during the stimulus push under Barack Obama's first administration. The power plant was meant to help revive the American economy after the 2008 financial crisis, while also expanding renewable energy.
It features about 350,000 computer-controlled mirrors to go alongside three imposing 459-foot towers. The sun's power heats water in the towers' boilers and makes steam, which then creates electricity. Between $730 million and $780 million of a $1.6 billion government–backed loan tied to the project remained unpaid, according to federal data cited by Fox News Digital. The US Treasury also provided a $539 million grant for the project, which covered roughly 30 percent of construction costs.
The only thing it has done successfully since it's inception is to fry birds in flight. Some estimates say at least 6,000 birds per year have met their demise in the magnified sunlight frying pan. Well played, treehuggers...

What was it that Cyndi Lauper said about ' Girls just wanna have fu-un"? Well...
A Fresno softball game descended into a vicious scrum near first base last Friday after the Central East High Bengals scored the winning run in an 8–8 game against the Clovis High Cougars. The Bengals, in white jerseys, began celebrating after scoring as the Cougars, in dark jerseys, slumped.
Then, two players began shoving each other before each team dove into the fight. Parents, players and coaches sprinted in to break it up. It’s unclear what started the Fresno fisticuffs, but sports tensions can run high. Former high school athletes told ABC 30 that there’s a “heated rivalry” between the schools and “heated emotion” is expected.
Clovis High parents told the outlet that the brawl felt shocking, disappointing, and showed poor sportsmanship. No players were ejected because the fight happened after the game, but Central Section CIF Commissioner Ryan Tos said there is still a sportsmanship policy.

Prices are surging in Iran, and millions of jobs
have been lost or are on pause...
That being said, A toxic mix of local mismanagement, the bombardment of Iran’s infrastructure, US sanctions and a naval blockade, as well as a near-total internet shutdown imposed by the authorities in Tehran – now in its 64th day – is pummelling the economy in the country of more than 90 million people.
The national currency, the rial, has hit a new all-time low of 1.84 million against the US dollar in the open market in Tehran. Currency deals were scant amid market volatility. A similar situation is unfolding in other markets, where sellers and customers are unsure how to proceed in light of the uncertainty over how much worse things could get, and whether new products will come in. Amid lowered or halted supplies, some vendors were gouging prices at speeds rarely seen during more than a decade of dealing with one of the world’s highest inflation rates.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has apparently added a new job to add to his long resume of Trump administration responsibilities: wedding DJ. “MOMENTS AGO, BEHIND THE SCENES—Our Great Secretary of State @MarcoRubio DJ’s weddings too! Here he is in action tonight at a family wedding… Let’s goooooo!!!” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino posted on X.
Rubio, who is frequently referred to as the “Secretary of Everything,” wears many hats in the Trump administration, serving as secretary of state, national security adviser and head archivist of the National Archives. He can be seen behind a DJ booth pressing one earpad from his headphones up to his right ear as he crouches over a laptop next to another man, presumably the hired DJ. The former senator from Florida transformed the wedding into a nightclub from his native Miami as dozens of wedding guests locked arms and danced in a circle. It was not clear whose wedding it was. Rubio continues to hold the headphones to his ears with a look of intense concentration, and at one moment appeared to give the DJ a signal to speed up the tune.

Pocahontas Warren is under fire after Spirit Airlines abruptly shut down, with critics citing her claim that blocking a merger that could have saved the troubled carrier was “a Biden win for flyers.”
Spirit announced early Saturday it would cease operations immediately, canceling all flights and shutting down customer service, leaving many travelers stranded.
The collapse is reigniting debate over whether federal regulators got it wrong in blocking a proposed JetBlue-Spirit merger, with opponents now arguing the decision may have reduced competition and contributed to the airline’s downfall.
“I’ve warned for months that a JetBlue-SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares,” Warren wrote in a March 2024 post on X. “@JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for flyers!”

Rattled supporters of Jimmy Kimmel are planning to roll out billboards near his network’s corporate headquarters after President Trump demanded that ABC ax the late-night host over his “hateful” joke aimed at the president and first lady.
Lefty advocacy group MoveOn is targeting Disney and ABC offices in the Los Angeles area with the mobile billboards, urging new Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro to “protect free speech” and “stand firm against FCC Censorship.”
