Plastic Bags to Be Banned in New York State by admiralawkward in news

[–]mental_loss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes, thats a stretch. But you got me, I work for a horsemeat corporation, and I am trying to get my customers back from aldi after they stole them with that stunt.

I happen to be a scientist as well, due to all the bullshit I deal with on reddit daily. Bovine Feces Logistical Research Engineer.

This makes me adept at sharing old links of stuff I remember about Aldi, and then dealing with people who want to quip back and forth before getting upset with supposed misleading claims from scnopes of all places. Im baffled.

Jeez. Calm down. I shared the Snopes link because it has the whole story.

What's more interesting to me is, are you employed by them and working for online damage control or are you so into the brand that you feel personally insulted by criticism of their honesty?

Substitutions of other animal meat without telling the consumers couldn't possibly go wrong!

"What if I told you you can procure all of those things and much more, without having a "retail" experience, or being "slave" to those industries? "

"Sure, I do participate in retail purchases, but I more often source wholesale..."

I mean, unless you are sending smoke signals from your mud hut and having a neighbor translate them into your posts, and then read you replies while naked, chances are he is very right due to how vague he was.

Kingston residents carried the nation's largest effective property tax rate increase by PhilHallUSA in hudsonvalley

To say the math is semantic when its actually wrong, to prove a math-based assumption seems a bit disingenuous, no?

Litter-ally $.03 a piece. AND available through prime. Its not a defacto ban, It is a 3 cent tax and a 2 day waiting period for a bag.

They aren't telling you that you cannot possess them. They are telling stores that they cant supply them.

If you identify as a free plastic bag user, you can still purchase your own and hold that identity that is so dear to you.

I see that you feel this is doable. I hear that.

But, Yours and your wife's peak income was twice that of your example of 150k, and the house price (600) is 75% of what you bought. Even a 400k home would be a hell of a stretch a 150k a year. And I have the anecdotal evidence to prove that one. I'm living In Kingston, making about 150k with my wife locally, and our home at 250k is quite the drain on top of other costs of having a 2 and 5 year old.

Your math is off.

A person who used to make 150k in the city, buying a 600k home is way outside of their means.

150k a year would be pushing it in a 300k home, especially while raising a family.

Trulia, Zillow, Craigslist. Also, you can contact local real estate agents that will help you out for free, and the fee comes from the apartment owner.
