Reply to comment by [deleted] in Massachusetts bans clothing, footwear, bedding, curtains and other textiles from trash disposal by cowghost

I moved from Ohio here and its so much better. I would never, ever go back to a red state. They had shit like this but worse if you were a worker. I used to work 9 hours a day as a teacher with no legal lunch break.

There is no extra fee that i saw, and honesty its a step to start to fix a legit problem with waste managment but they need to have infistructure in place. Like have textile drop boxes at every t station if your going to do this.

The state has no interest in actually solving the problem, that's why there's no infrastructure. If there was to be infrastructure there would certainly be a fee, which means maybe it wouldn't have passed because people don't want to pay the fee. So, the state passed this law so that people would "feel" like the problem is being addressed and they would go and continue voting for said ridiculousness.

So how does this have anything to do with red or blue states?
