Deregulation saves lives, keep it coming.
On a side note, at 10 cents a plastic bag, the plastic bag ban never stopped me from buying the new thicker plastic bags. Not only that, but I ended up buying additional plastic trash bags on top of that, which I didn’t have to before. Overall, I ended up using a greater volume of plastic in bags. Nice try, though.
