Why not just leave it up to the users? Maybe put a warning?
Why does the government have to ban everything and treat us like children?
Because most people reason like children and act like children.
Had one dude buy a bunch of those none refillable vapes. Ran around with 3 of them and talked about that the government should ban them because people like himself throw them in the woods when done. That is a real person.
Politicians also act like children. There's no evidence they get their authority from being either smarter or more competent than an average person.
Nope he is a fucking idiot.
Nice rant but this was about him throwing it into the environment while saying the government should ban those vapes so he stops throwing them in the woods.
I understand that you didn't get it with first reading because it is completely nuts so the brain goes to something more reasonable.
But I agree with the gist of what you are saying.
Congratulations, this is how you get exploited by corporations.
