One consequence of moonbat micromanagement is micro-oppression. Via ABC7 Gay Area:

Some Bay Area shoppers are frustrated after Safeway has stopped offering handles [on] its paper grocery bags, citing a supply chain problem. …

“Cheap bag just ripped right there!” one shopper said while loading groceries into his SUV.

Too bad he can’t use vastly more efficient plastic bags, which allow you to carry large quantities of groceries easily. Now the paper bags don’t even have handles, making them still more inferior.

Nick Vyas, executive director [of the Randall R. Kendrick Global Supply Chain Institute] at the University of Southern California, said the shortage [of usable bags] stems from several factors, including tariffs on Canadian lumber, Indonesia revoking lumber permits, and California’s ban on plastic bags that took effect earlier this year.

Regarding the latter, Vyas piously praised “this environmentally-conscious decision, which is a right thing to do.”

California voters have earned the paper bags, which without handles are almost impossible to carry without tears and spills if you have more than two.

If only all consequences of tyrannical enviroposturing were this insignificant.
