California bans plastic bags!

Starting sometime in 2015 for grocery stores and 2016 for liquor stores and pharmacies, plastic bags will be outlawed in the state of California.

What the hell kind of place do we live in that we have to do things like make plastic bags illegal? You know they're terrible, I know they're terrible, just get rid of them!

I'm not saying this isn't great, just so strange that things take so long to take effect after it's become apparent we never should have had them to begin with.

In my opinion the greatest thing about this bill is that it includes funding for retraining workers that are in the, uh, plastic bag making line of work, and/or funding for manufacturing plants to switch gears from making single-use plastic bags. Thus proving that it's entirely possible to fundamentally change outdated infrastructures, without uprooting our economic stability on certain industries. This is something that mega corporations would have you believe isn't possible.

MFA Investigation: Tyson workers torture and mutilate pigs before turning into bacon

This video is appalling. If you have any sense of morals or feelings at all, you will feel sick after watching it. Like so sick you could puke up that bacon you ate this morning. But it's important to watch and learn.

If I were to put my cat through half the pain that these Tyson workers put all of these pigs through, I'd be arrested faster than you can say ham sandwich. Why the hell should one of the biggest corporations on the planet be allowed to do it on a massive scale?





Not that I want to put my cat through any pain, or have anyone be allowed to. These men should be arrested, and all the upper management should receive even higher punishments. But honestly, if I had to choose between some twisted homeowners beating up their dog, and massive corporations being allowed to do these sick and horrifying things to thousands of animals everyday, I'd choose the option that saves the most animals. Not even from life, but so much pain at the very least.

But they manage to get away with it, every day. But it's OK, because following this investigation, Tyson has done a "turnaround."
