On: Airlines in the U.S. charge separately for checked bags in order to reduce tax

In the US people use the same amount of plastic is being used and most are not shy to pay a few cents for per bag except for the same minority who are conscientious and bring their onw reusable bags. Imo the cost of comfort is too cheap. If bags costed $1 people would start to bring their own reusable bags in larger numbers.

It’s fundamentally a regressive tax. Increasing it would just exacerbate this inequality.

I guess this is just another way that Americans are just very different from the rest of the world hah
