Who would've thought the guy who gave us a tour of "his" apartment, he'd clearly never been to before, has a history of fraud?

I'm just an XRay tech. But I would expect at least one whole day, for a pair of engineers to get it running again and re-certified. $20-50K for their time, plus missed revenue from the lost day. Best case could total $100K easy. Way more, if the damage is more than cosmetic.

Not sure what he's talking about.
Just describing what's in it, does all the "branding".
What could they have done to rebrand what it literally says?

I Do! I'd spend hundreds for it.

Could do all sorts of things with it!
Accept donations for all the groups Inforwars insulted or hurt in any way.
For yucks, put up a poll for how terrible a person Alex Jones is.
Add a form for recommendations on other fun things to with the site.

It seems easy to argue liter is part of environmental concerns and policy. Environment is a very flexible term.

On the other hand, I like fun.

Think like what? Think this is just one small pice. Small enough that it almost doesn't matter, and shouldn't take any energy or news inches from the larger problem of plastic packaging? Because honestly, it sounds like we're on the same page there.

Also plastics aren't much of a climate issue. They're part of a more broad environmental issue.

I have a hand-held basket I got more than a decade ago from Staples. I just put all the loose fruit and veg in that.

I wouldn't limit it to plastic packaging. Micro-plastics come from all plastic.

Excellent! That should be bigger news than this little stuff.

All the more reason to advocate for it, and not be distracted by a nearly meaningless win.

I'm saying it shouldn't be praised as a solution, but recognized as a very small step forward. Afterwhich we ramp up the pressure for real solutions.
