That’s really all you can do. That’s why people are glueing their hands to shit. Everything is so absurd that it shows in peoples reactions to facts like this. The world is a fucking joke at this point. Nothing will be done and regular people like us can simply scream and that is all, oh, and make fun of each other for lashing out in such absurd ways. See Reddit for reference.

Sounds like plastic recycling is working as intended. It was an invention of plastic companies so they could continue to produce new plastic.

Whenever I read that kind of history I'm astonished China isn't celebrated more for executing billionaires.
