    If it’s at least possible for those micro plastics to be broken down, would it really matter if they don’t break down ina landfill? Either they stay in the landfill forever causing no problems or they leach out / blow away outside of the landfill and voila, proper conditions to be broken down into starches and consumed by bacteria.







  • I really don’t understand why there is anyone against universal health insurance in the states.

    Pretty much everyone is guaranteed to get major hospital bills at some point in their life. They are paying massive fees to insurance companies to line their pockets instead of hospitals to provide better service.

    Sure, taxes will go up a bit to cover it, but what you’ll pay in taxes over your lifetime is going to be no where near what you pay in insurance and healthcare procedures.

    I pay $0 annually for insurance, and I can walk in to see my doctor at any moment to consult on something for $0, and if something needs to happen I can get blood work and X-rays for $0, then go to the hospital for surgery for $0 (maybe a $5 parking pass).





  • If there was a company which charged me $1 / month to send spam mail to a company I would sign up in a heart beat.

    Imagine if a company got 10,000 spam letters via snail mail every month and they had to sift through each and every one to see if any contains actual pertinent information.

    Sure it wouldn’t be much of a hinderance to the company itself but they would probably have to pay a few people at $30-$40 thousand a year to do it.
