Covid 19 Freakonomics predicitons

Plastic bag shortages

Do you mean the shopping bags provided by grocers? Because I've been reusing my ziplocks.

No, I mean the ziplocks and others similar. Here in Australia we have to bring our own bags for groceries or buy a super big heavy duty one. They also have ziplock type bags but without any lock (freezer bags).

Talking of shopping bags... stop&shop used to charge $.10 per bag before the pandemic and now they are free.

Oh good, I think I was feeling the same thing because I've been reusing those bags.

I didn't know you had to bring your own bags at grocers, I think most of the world does that now that I think of it.

Because they probably think they have to repopulate the earth.

That's nice! I don't think Aldi is giving theirs away.

I love those plastic bags from the supermarkets like walmart because I reuse those as small trash can liners. I throw the baby wipes in the trash.

Oh, my... like China is doing... did you watch the video?

no I ddin't can you post it here?

Stop&Shop prefers to give them for free rather than we bringing our own recycling bags.

Let me check if I still have the link...

Because people are dirty! I wash my aldi bags.

Having been forced to live in quarantine with each other, for over a week,..
I can envision a spike of divorces coming after this pandemic…lol

Yeah, I wash mine in the washer with Clorox.

As you were talking about carrier bags chasity <3 I had a kitchen cupboard full of them that I used for lining waste bins.
When they started charging for them at the shops I started using a rucksack to carry odds & ends back home.
As I have no longer been buying carrier bags & worked my way through the bags I had stored I have been finding receipts
in them from years back & you can fairly see the difference in prices of grocery's compared to nowadays.
It might be different in the US but I would say its most likely the same with prices rising there too.

Have a great weekend chasity <3 & you too littleme <3.

The video is gone... [link to video-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net (secure)]

China was restocking after corona... someone said that female employees have to report to their bosses when they have the period.

Over 10 years, 20x deaths attributable to economic fallout than virus deaths in 2020-2021.

Social Security gone in wake. Those of us paying in for last 30-40 years just paid an extra tax and get nothing.

Thanks Fraust, you too!

lol

Thank you dear Fraust... you too have a lovely weekend!
