NANNY STATE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT
I’m embarrassed NY is doing this and California is ignoring it completely. Wash your hands after handling receipts plz, don’t let the cashier put them in the bag with your food at the grocery store or whatever.

>NEW YORK (AP) — New York City lawmakers are considering a ban on paper receipts coated with the chemical BPA and a requirement that retailers offer emailed receipts instead of paper ones.
>The City Council announced last week that it will hold hearings on a package of bills aimed at cracking down on paper receipts.
>“Nobody needs foot-long receipts," said Council Speaker Corey Johnson, a Democrat. “We will work with businesses and consumers to cut out paper receipt waste and protect the planet. Let’s not print receipts when they aren’t wanted, especially when we have technology to issue environmentally friendly alternatives."
>Most cash register receipts are coated with bisphenol A, known as BPA, or the related chemical BPS. Some studies have determined the chemicals could harm the female reproductive system at high levels.
>The City Council will consider bills in the next few months to restrict the use of BPA-coated paper, to require stores to offer e-receipts, to require that receipts be printed on recyclable paper and to require businesses to recycle receipts.

It’s because you can milk them for their divvies, like you might milk an infant.

If you have to ask...
Never buy the high like a lot of folks here did. If it dips before the FDA date in late December, you can pick up some shares. Be careful though, everyone talks like it’s guaranteed approval, but the FDA is a bunch of bureaucratsC meaning they can do stupid and unpredictable things. Don’t put all your money in a moonshot unless you’re set for retirement and whatever.

Be very suspicious when there’s so much concentrated shilling, but I believe there is money to be made here.
