Lack of pistachios in grocery stores wouldn't affect me one bit, but I'd still be on the side of pistachio buyers (and pistachio salesmen) if my city decided to ban them.
edit: or if my city decided that all cashiers checking out customers with pistachios must be fingerprinted.
- lukeschlather 10y agoA couple pistachio suppliers stopped selling pistachios because they were upset they needed to start tracking where their pistachios were coming from so the FDA can keep track of foodborne illness.
- kinkdr 10y agoI don't think the city decided to ban Uber and Lyft. They decided to leave as a means of pressure. Kind of blackmail.
- SwellJoe 10y agoUber/Lyft were not banned. They were asked to follow the same rules as every other driver in the city; they paid an exorbitant amount of money (the most expensive local election in history, where the opposing side had a budget of a couple hundred thousand dollars vs. the $9+ million Uber/Lyft spent trying to buy it) to overrule city council, which failed. When it failed, they threw a tantrum and left. The process they were fighting to avoid is a fingerprint and background check that costs about $40 per driver. Their millions could have paid for a couple hundred thousand drivers to get checked.
