NJ had a single use plastic bag tax. To get around it companies increased the thickness of plastic bags and gave it for free. Apparently the thickness is what separated a single use bag with a reusable one. Politicians are clowns 🤡.
Same up in Connecticut. I have so many crappy “reusable” plastic bags from Target pickup orders during the height of the pandemic. I can’t bring myself to get rid of them because they’re “reusable”, so I use them to hold donations for the thrift store and get rid of them that way. I also use them as packing material.
I have other, nicer bags I use when I go to shopping.

Politicians are clowns is what you said while it was companies skirting the spirit of the law by exploiting a loophole.
Amazing that is your take
Imagine writing laws as a job and leaving such an obvious loophole.
Yes, politicians are clowns.
