"California Considers $1,000 Fine for Waiters Offering Unsolicited Plastic Straws"

Plus up to 6 months in jail.

I wonder if they would reduce the sentence if the waiter is "undocumented".

    They would put some horribly large fine on Apple if it decided to move, making it impossible. Punitive severance pay or something like that. Maybe a real Directive 10-289 forbidding the move

    Once upon a time, there was a beautiful, bountiful place . Filled with scenery so breathtaking that people came there just to look. The people availed themselves of natural resources and irrigated the land which bore food enough to feed much of the world in addition to its own people. But then, some people escaped from the society of Loonybin, and promised free stuff for all. The people forgetting that there's no such thing as a free anything,. they listened to the Loonybin people and proceeded to destroy the beautiful, bountiful place. Very sad.

    I live in the PRC (Peoples Republic of California) and the inmates took over the asylum years ago. I am trying to figure out a way to escape.

    I worked in California for a while and I'll be damned if I ever go back there for anything more than Disney land.

    Of course there will be no penalty for “undocumented” waiters. California is the unopposed champion of the Counters of Angels on the Heads of Pins. To quote Alice Cooper, “I’ve gotta get out of here!”

    California should take a hard look at Apple's decision to open a "second" headquarters in another state. They might wake up to suddenly find moving vans in Cupertino, with an announcement Apple is departing. Losing the world's biggest company would be a blow they might not recover from.

    it was announced by weatherby manufacturer of outstanding fire arms that they are moving from California to Wyoming. the moving of companies out of California is not happening fast enough. the article posted is proof of how utterly stupid the people who chose to stay are, since they voted this idiot into office. why would you even contemplate a return there?

    It's hard to tell if it is rude and shifty service in a restaurant, or if they are just legally compliant. Many cities also ban providing a glass of water either unless it is requested.

    Yikes! Certainly not Objectivists, are they? There is absolutely no logic or reason used in this legislation.

    If I'm ever tempted to move back to California I'll enter a twelve-step program. :-)

    First: Friends don't let Friends...move back to california!

    Second: What ever happened to the paper straw? Paper bags, (we still have them here in CT-go figure) and wax paper linings in cereal boxes...Oh, I forgot, tree huggers thing if we cut down trees there will be no oxygen left to breath and Bees wax...well, not many around lately...must be global warming...(NOT)

    As for Not giving anyone anything until they ask?...we get closer and closer to Bizarro's world every day.
