We've had that for quite a while...
Slow, America, slow!
Slow, America, slow!

Nurse, where the fuck's my cardigan?
And my gin!
And my gin!

Yes, we've really lagged. However, my daughter is sitting at her computer watching a video and making some shopping bags as I write.

We have not single use bags for years. A reusable plastic bag is now 25 cents but sustainable bags are also for sale and last years and cost a euro.

Quality of life issues, especially homelessness, will rise to the forefront in 2020
Global stock markets added $17 trillion in value over the past year. But that doesn’t alter the fact that many Americans feel their quality of life slipping away. It explains why Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have gained such traction: Their campaigns are built around income inequality.
Trump to blame it all on Democrats, but no solution:
In tandem with the increased focus on homelessness, expect the president to shine the spotlight on San Francisco. The City by the Bay has become a haven for petty thieves, drug addicts, and the mentally ill, culminating in disturbing images of an American city once known around the world for its beauty earning a new reputation for streets with outdoor drug markets, discarded heroin needles, human waste on the sidewalk.
Trump beta-tested attacks on the liberal bastion in September, when he threatened to use the EPA to stop needles from flowing into the Pacific Ocean. That was before San Francisco voters elected a socialist as district attorney, who campaigned on a platform of ending prosecutions of gang enhancements and public urination. Every new "restorative justice" program launched in San Francisco is an opportunity for Trump to lampoon the left.
