I want to state that Dismal Disney StarWars has been repeatedly ruined by garbage writing and garbage storytelling and multiple "member-berries" and the pox known as Kathleen Kennedy.
Disney destroyed decades of storytelling by renowned authors such as R.A.Salvatore, Timothy Zahn and others.
High Republic and whatever shite that they've written and published so far is utter garbage. Hasn't sold well.
Skeleton Crew and the "Goonies" tropes and the reverse "Treasure Island/Planet/Location" is not a bad premise to start the series, kind of like its a "kids" show, "kid" friendly, but not "family" centric with single parents everywhere who have abrogated their responsibilities as parents by "working very hard". Part of parenting is to provide a stable AND attentive environment for kids. You don't work yourself to death leaving your kids to whimsy and the winds and strangers to take care of them or brainwashing them.
There is a significant problem with media-reporting and scientific-studies being vetted for accuracy and peer-reviews.
Plastics are organic polymerized compounds usually I think that fall under Alkyl, isoprenes, monomers ?
Rubbers are organic polymerized compounds usually under elastomers / neoprenes / butadienes ?
We NEED more nuance and not fearmongering,scaremongering and FUD about the man-made pollutants.
Rubber pollution is a thing and plastics pollution is also a thing. How do we deal with each of them may require DIFFERENT strategies and NOT CRAZY-SHIT.
Insurance pays out until outcome and not treatment. Meaning of they don't cure you, insurance will have to cover until you die.
And if they kill you while trying to cure you, every care provider in the chain pays 10-times the cost (total insurance paid by patient over all the years) based on liability to the family else insurance pays 20-times total insurance cost to family.
Maybe we need a new study of "Forever chemicals" and "Short-term chemicals" and "Long-lived chemicals" redefined and not use confusing terms like "microplastics" for anything polymerised. DNA is a polymer but we dont call people microplastics.
Again there is a difference even when you say synthetic rubber,
DO NOT MIX AND CONFUSE RUBBER and PLASTIC.
Rubber === mixture of ISOPRENE and ELASTOMERE polymers ( naturally occurring from Latex/rubber trees but 50% naturally produced and 50% synthetically produced from petrochemicals)
Plastic === mixture of various Ethyl,Propyl,Poly-Propyl Polymers mainly derived synthetically from petrochemical sources ( may or may not be combined with elastomere for rubberized properties).
So MOST MODERN Industrial processes are DIRTY and HEAVILY POLLUTING.
Dont confuse Rubber and Plastic manufacturing and lump it into a single problem unless and until you have definitive and REPRODUCIBLE PROOF THAT PROBLEMS ARE COMMON TO BOTH.
Exactly. We need more and better peer-reviewed and vetted studies. Is rubber pollution exactly same as micro-plastics? Or is it 80% the same effects? Is it the same effects due to the same chemicals? Is it similar due to the same processes and not necessarily the end-product material ? Many many questions that people don't seem to understand and just blindly trust whatever some "latest study shows ....." bullshit that has been going on for a very long time.
Vulcanized RUBBER tyres shed PLASTIC microparticles .... hmmmm something sounds very rubbery and not at all plasticky..... i truly wonder what it could be .....hmmmm......
Edit:
"Is rubber considered a plastic?
Although materials such as rubber, textiles, adhesives, and paint may in some cases meet this definition, they are not considered plastics."
Here is a Scientific study MIS-CONSTRUING Rubber as a Plastic AND MAKING ASSUMPTIONS WITHOUT PROPER EXPLANATIONS !!!!
This is the problem with Scientific studies, Media, Reporting and bunch of people running with studies that make a lot of FALSE ASSUMPTIONS WITHOUT TELLING YOU THE FULL FUCKING STORY.
Republican voter base is most likely to have the motivation or resources or both to go to the voting booth to vote for Drumpf. All other voters need a convincing reason to lose out their paycheck to go vote at risk of losing their job. Dems and Kamala are to blame. Not the voters.
Obama was and is and always will be a centrist playing the role of a leftist. Romneycare watered down with extreme Republican ramrodding torpedoeing their own policies into Romneycare-lite and Obama still went with it. That's some of the reasons why people hate hate and really hate corpo dems and their nominees. Either voters get turned off or turned away or turned against.
Truly, dinosaurs with guns ! Glocks to stave off the extinction of the species ! What a wonderful idea, I would have never thought of that, somehow I must have heard about it somewhere before, surely !
