This was always going to happen. Just like they keep saying it will bring manufacturing back to the States. Nah, companies will just move manufacturing to somewhere with the lowest tariff/labor cost
Next up on the shitshow of a news cycle we'll see a headline like "President Frumph signed an executive order today to legalize the torture and murder of Trans people"
I had a retired military buddy at work who told me it was one of his annual task to burn through supply, so they wouldn't lose funding.
I still get amused when I think about him reinacting them spending weeks on end bored AF and snacking, while wasting millions of rounds of ammo, and tossing hand grenades
Sure. Like I just said Tesla. There are plenty more examples of companies trying to stop progress. Look what they're doing right now with EV and solar in the US. That's backed by big $ from lobbyist.
Or if you wanna talk about the topic at hand, petrol companies have recently projected that in the next 20 years, over 95% of their profits from oil will be made from plastic products, such as grocery store bags and single use products. Hell, grocery stores profit majorly from single use plastics.
In 2020 oil companies invested an additional $400 billion into upgrading plastic manufacturing. You can bet your ass that a large majority of that is going to lobby politicians, and manufacturers to follow the status quo, including blocking biodegradables, like corn based bags.
Sure thing bud. Just ask those people that have threatened industries like big oil with inventions in the past, if they've alive to tell it. Or even perhaps people like Nikola Tesla. Stay woke my lemming. Not all conspiracy theories are crazy
For sure. It's definitely okay by me. I have a bunch saved up myself, and quite a few of the cheap reusables.
But my go to bags are from IKEA in Burbank. They have a great selection of bags that fold down nicely, and are very portable. The ones I use the most were only like $5 a piece too.
