California Banned Plastic Bags. So I Bought 50!!

California banned plastic grocery bags.

Plastic pollution went up anyway.

And now California families are paying $100–$200 a year for paper bags that rip before you even reach the parking lot.

So I went to Smart & Final to see what the “ban” actually looks like in the real world.

Turns out you can still walk into a California store and buy plastic bags.

Ten cents each.

Meanwhile the replacement paper bags require nearly 17 times more water to manufacture than the plastic bags they replaced.

And the majority of plastic film waste — the industrial pallet wrap used to ship products to stores — remains completely untouched by the law.

The result:

Higher costs for families.

More plastic waste than before.

And grocery stores collecting millions of dollars in bag fees.

California didn’t eliminate plastic.

It eliminated the plastic you can see.

Everything else is still coming through the loading dock.

This video breaks down how the policy actually works, where the money goes, and why Sacramento keeps targeting the smallest piece of the plastic supply chain.

NEWSOM IN PANIC MODE — TWO REPUBLICANS STUN CALIFORNIA

Governor Gavin Newsom and the California Democratic Party are suddenly facing a scenario they did not expect: two Republicans rising to the top of the 2026 California governor race. Recent polling and political analysis suggest there is a real possibility that two Republican candidates could advance to the November ballot in California’s unique top-two primary system. If that happens, it would reshape the entire political landscape of the state.
   Why is this happening?   California’s open primary means every candidate appears on the same ballot, and only the top two vote-getters advance to the general election. With a crowded Democratic field splitting votes across multiple candidates, Republican candidates like Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton suddenly have a path to the top.

Political insiders and analysts are warning that Democratic vote splitting could create a situation where Republicans dominate the top of the ballot in the June primary.

That possibility has sparked panic and pressure inside California Democratic circles, with party leadership urging candidates to reconsider their campaigns in order to consolidate support. If two Republicans make the ballot, it would be one of the biggest political surprises in California in decades.
