“There’s a finite amount of sand, and its depletion will lead to catastrophic climate change.”

How did I do?

Yes, disaster.

...and contemplate you and me paying for it.

Just peachy keen.

Brings to mind lampposts, infamous walls, dungeons, guillotine, cliffs, helicopters, torture chambers, penal colonies, rope, bullets, knives, swords, poison, the rack, in other words the end of humanity. The beginning of madness.

You did fine.

Question is, what will they do when our patience with their stupidity runs out. I’m done and it only took about seven months.

So the only citizens who use plastics earn more than $400,000 per year.

The plastics industry is not paying its fair share of grift to K-street?

My father, who has passed away, left coffee cans filled with coins. I must have a dozen all filled with coins. He believe paper money would one day be worthless. He started saving the coins in the 1950’s. And yes I have one coffee can filled with silver dollars, half dollars, dimes and quarters.

its never the fiscally responsible approach of spending less. Its always spend more more more!

its amazing that these fools keep getting elected. Even dumb people know that when they don’t have money they can’t buy stuff.

“I’d be MORE than happy if everything went back to glass bottles, again. But then, the Socialists would just switch tactics and tax sand.”

The wood products lobbyists must be licking their chops at the prospect of confiscatory taxes on plastics.

I wouldn’t be surprised if tree growers were the first to propose the plastic tax to idiot lawgivers.

Silver is currently around $24 per ounce. The individual coins may be worth more as a collector coin, though...................

I don’t like taxation as a means of controlling supply and consumption but I hate all of the throwaway plastic we use. From k-cups to the beautiful detergent bottles and drink bottles to the disposable diapers and on and on.

They are laying the groundwork to tax every electronic transaction over $600.
They are laying the groundwork to tax every electronic transaction over $6.00................................

Fortunately thanks to the global chip shortage caused by government COVID policies combined with the USA surrendering our own manufacturing base there will be no electronic purchases over $6.

You might have some valuable coins in those cans. Should consider going through them and separating out the older ones.

Political fact of life:
If you vote for a Republican your taxes may go up,
If you vote for a Democrat/Communist/Leftist (pardon the redundancy) your taxes will go up.
