What could go wrong? LA Set to Ban Paper and Plastic
Democrats don’t think things through. (Progressive Republicans are no different, to be fair.) They enact policies in response to the echo chamber of voices in their ideologically isolationist heads, all the things Edmund Burke warned us against centuries ago.
