Someone in my field recently put out some research about how plastic shopping bags might actually be GOOD for the environment because people find extra uses for them. Big Plastic strikes again

A well-known science podcaster did an episode about how it takes less resources to make a plastic bag than a cotton one. While that may be true, you probably don't find cotton shopping bags in the ocean choking wildlife.

It's like when people complain about government stupidity because a penny costs more than a penny to mint. Just that characteristically American grim determination to never once actually think for more than a second about anything.

Look its cheaper to make this plastic bag that someone might use 2 times ever than this cotton bag that you can use basically forever. checkmate.

For some reason this doesn't stop small business owners from fighting bike lane and patio installation tooth and nail.

Most of the moron owners doing this are fighting over max two spaces in front of their store and often one of them is their personal space that generates zero sales. lol, lmao.

I have a tiny bit of sympathy for store owners who complain about streetcar construction loving up their business, only because it is usually laughably mismanaged with delays and overruns and the REIT that owns their building is undoubtedly going to jack up their rent as soon as construction ends.

I've never washed my grocery bags that are ten years old and we didn't get sick one time for two years during the pandemic so I'm pretty sure washing your bags is bullshit.

Edit: I do bag raw meat separately.

Not even just the USDA rule (because USDA was mostly a joke already), although that certainly doesn't do anyone any favors. But that slaughter house megacorps are demanding ever higher production with less staff; poo poo rear end wages with ever squeezing of the workers; less workers doing more amounts of work, and removal of QA/QC (because that costs money); shipping delays where reefers or trains are often stalled out and poo poo is just baking in the sun for a week; stocking labor shortages so deliveries are also just sitting in the yard all day, and the list goes on, it is just a bad idea to buy mega grocer hormel/smithfields/tyson/etc Walmart Value meats.

In all honesty, I kind of gave up on most red meat and it does make a difference. Maybe Humans really weren't designed to consume steaks and hamburgers every day.
