To all you non-NYC people, here most people use public transportation to go to work. To start shlepping bags to work then home again to pick up a few items after work IS a tircha.
Yes, there are more important things in the world, but here in NYC, the government is making life uncomfortable. This bag thing is annoying unless you keep them in a car, but here it is getting harder to get around in a car. The speed limit is 15 – 25 mph, depending where you are. They are NARROWING the highways instead of making them able to carry more cars. The trains and buses don’t run on a normal schedule. Our Mayor would like to eliminate all free street parking.
It is like the city would like to go back to the 1950s when most people didn’t have cars and people used paper bags (which often would fall apart mid-use).
We need a government that is responsive to the people’s needs.
