  1. Here in New York, it's the same story. Incredibly irritating. Now when I go to Walmart, I bring garbage bags from home to put my purchases into.

  2. ​ @Nowhere-from  Nice try, bub. Sowell is a brilliant economist, and the premier public intellectual of the last half century. As a leftist, you may not enjoy the truth, but you will be unable to successfully address one word that Sowell has ever written or said. For that matter, I doubt you even know what Sowell believes. But prove me wrong, why don't you?

  3. I think I've noticed a theme: It seems every war is radical Islamists vs. civilization.

  4. Nick didn't mention it, but creating reusable fabric bags affects the environment far more than does using disposable plastic ones. It would take 75,000 uses of each reusable bag to make it worth it.

  5. You never said why Haiti collapsed

  6.  @MrEpic86  Wow - Your history lesson is a wild fantasy. Where did you dream up that scenario? There is not one single fact in there. Not one.

  7. True, but oversimplified. The issue is regulations - not just the one mentioned, but rent control, zoning, etc.

  8. And 57 Muslim nations

  9. ​ @Mortablunt  Try to set aside your hatred for America, and think rationally instead.

  10.  @joelmartin2549  Allow? Not allow, but demand. While some people - those who don't buy much - place their purchases into reusable bags, the rest of us are supposed to - and do - put everything right back into the carts, and then place them, unbagged, into our vehicles. It gets really annoying when the bottles of soap, or packages of sugar, open up and spill into the car.

  11. And still they are worse for the environment, because the environmental toll of creating those bags is huge.

  12. Kids are dying from fentanyl, crime is out of control, illegals are pouring over the border, and the left is worrying about plastic bags 🤦‍♂️

  19.  @hellstromcarbunkle8857  Aren't you embarassed to announce your ignorance to the world? If you are going to (foolishly) try to go up against a brilliant scholar like Thomas Sowell - the pre-eminent public intellectual of the last half century - shouldn't you at least have a clue what he believes? You poor thing. Sowell is revered by millions, having earned every bit of it, while you're some little nothing trying to get respect on a YT thread, and failing badly.

  20. ​ @AK-jm1sc  No one with any basic education would claim that the Islamists' war to eradicate Jews, and then the West, has anything whatsoever to do with "hopelessness". Bin Laden was a millionaire. Hamas's leaders are billionaires, living in opulence in Qatar. Arafat was worth hundreds of millions. The PLO was founded in 1964. The Islamists' massacres of Jews began over a century ago. By the way, 100% of the misery in Gaza is caused by Hamas, who murders their own people, and steals their money. But that still has nothing to do with their genocidal beliefs and actions. Stop defending modern-day Nazis.

  21. ​@furryfinance1580 If you would only list one lie at a time, instead of cramming dozens of them into the same comment, it would be easier to respond. It is stunning that someone could be so ignorant as to believe the endless list of falsehoods you repeated, taken from the propaganda of genocidal baby killers like Hamas, and treat those lies as gospel truth. I have no doubt you would have been on the side of the Axis Powers in WWII as well, slavishly repeating every word you gleaned from Goebbels's videos. If only you had any perspective, you would die of embarassment for having allowed yourself to be used as a useful idiot by the worst people on earth.

  23. ​ @kostareka1039  Jews have been in Israel for thousands of years. Yaser Arafat invented the name "Palestinians" for the Jordanians and Sgyptians and Syrians who wanted to steal Israeli land.

  24. But all some people want to talk about is Israel trying to defend itself

  29. Nice story, but...the Trump effect causes more harm than it helps. In exchange for the gain in minority votes, the GOP has lost massive swaths of college-educated voters, especially women. As college-educated voters are vastly more likely to show up at the polls than is the underclass, this is a net loss for the GOP.

  30. Because during the Cold War, every country grabbed a powerful sponsor, either the US or the USSR. India being the disorganized mess they've tended to be, chose wrong. Which left Paskistan with the US.

  31.  @jeremywheeler2122  During the cold war, the opposition between the US and the USSR was sufficiently intense so that nearly every country could get a sponsor from one side or the other. Certainly, a nation the size of India received lots of attention, and could choose a side. Some countries played the US and the USSR off each other, in order to get the best deal. Not India, although I can't quite tell you what they were thinking at the time. Or if they were thinking at all.

  34. Anyone can criticize. What's your proposed fix, Nick?
