Arguably, it just needs to be taxed to offset the costs of cleaning up the plastic waste in the environment which could potentially make it much more expensive than glass.
Citizens being able to afford food and drink is already a bare minimum policy that the cost of disposable bottles shouldn't affect in any way, shape, or form. If the average costs rise then so should EBT/SNAP benefits, for example.
"Killing Capitalism" eh? I'll bite, whats your idea?
If you make a plastic bottle you get taxed. If you put something in a plastic bottle to resell, you get taxed. If you import a plastic bottle for any reason, believe it or not, taxed.
No, the problem has never been us at all. We don't run Coca Cola Co. We don't decide how laundry detergent is packaged. We don't manufacture excess plastic drums and lined tanks for unnecesary use cases. We don't flood the market with cheap dinnerware, plates, cups, bowls, etc.
Big corporations do all of that. Run by dozens of people who do not care what we think.
I watched Bee and Puppycat and it cured my millenial inherent nihilistic psycopathy and now I run a nonprofit animal rescue center plus bakery for dogs (I am allergic to dogs but they don't mind).
At what point does cheapness outweigh reliability? It was good to keep wasteful and incompetent military contractors on their toes, but that's going to have diminishing returns, eventually.
Elon's vision is spaceflight cheap enough for extremely wealthy consumers to frequent, any further in that direction and SpaceX maybe might no longer benefit the general public.
Which is why my expectations have lowered. "Hey can we build a rocket out of steel and power it with natural gas?" "We'd have to give engineers a raise or they'll probably quit."
TBH I'd like more multiplayer games with a real story. Most games on PC and console alike are singleplayer only.
