Wish it was this mild. Centrists are more like “Hmm, how can I get the votes of the bigot? A riddle for the ages.” And “Why can’t those assholes complaining about affording healthcare shut the fuck up, they’re breaking my concentration on how to win over the bigots”.
Centrists hate the left but will take their vote. They are horny for the right and will abandon any left principle of it’ll get their vote.
Hence Kamala running a Republican campaign.
Some stuff has to be consumed, like food. And that’s a major problem with plastic. Plastic is being used to protect and preserve foods, but it’s also being used as a cheap binding for shipments.
The right solution introduces an added logistic hurdle to send back packaging for reuse and to reprocess/clean that packaging.
There is actually a way out of this, but marketers hate it. It’s standardized reusable containers and outlawing or severely limiting the use of plastic and inks for product distribution.
Sure, it’d turn our grocery stores into a warehouse-like feel, but it would also make it easy and possible for reuse and recycle centers to process and redistribute packaging with very minimal waste.
It’d also make it a lot harder for companies to play the shrinkflation game.
Standardization like this does wonders.
