+1 One of these days someone is going to simply say "no" and keep repeating "no" until they make the offending state play the tape all the way to the end in front of everyone. They will be vilified in the press but it is going to happen.

Get a couple of "no's" and a dump truck. Said no's can deposit their left overs in the dump truck. Said dump truck can deposit the left overs at City Hall.

Maybe stick a sign at the top of the pile that says "Free food for you swine feeding at the public trough."

Economics 101: State mandates business to do something that costs money. In order for the business to comply, it passes the cost off on to the customer or it goes out of business because it can't afford the new cost. So, ultimately it means businesses close or customers pay more. Austin just raised the tax on it's citizens.

Sad thing is, most people are too ignorant to see it.

They also do not realize that if both things are to remain unchanged (the biz' existence, and the cost to the consumer) quality & availability go down the toilet. Socialism 101.

One can cue up Venezuela... or the image of Michelle Pfeiffer telling Sean Connery that, before their date, "Please I must first go buy shoes, there is a shipment of shoes." Y'all take your pick. Didn't work for either government.

Liberals just don't understand such simple concepts as cause and effects. You'd think after seeing the failures of socialism in Portland and Seattle as businesses folded or employees were laid off instead of paying the new minimum wages.

Waiting for Kalifornia to start the ball rolling by outlawing landfills, no more garbage it's all recyclable.

Exactly!

It is the same type of leftist, feel-good, policies that the neo-marxists continue to implement in CA that has now made it impossible to afford to live there. Now the "useful idiots" have decided to migrate to Austin and make it their new commie, hippie haven. Austin folks have generally always been a little weird but this is just ridiculous.
