  • I’m all for packaging minimization but I also acknowledge that if I, the consumer seek single serving products, I’m pretty glad they are food safe and isolated. This is the part where “reduce” in the recycling slogan can manifest: what’s the absolute minimum packaging needed to keep a consumer safe?

    I’m not saying companies shouldn’t ever be responsible for their packaging waste, it’s a good idea. But I think municipal trash is meant to be that answer, in that rather than every company managing their own streams of returns, the locality does it, and sorts them by general type for efficiency/efficacy.

    Therefore I think it best to factor waste costs from the company into that centralized system, so efficiencies of scale can manifest. This allows for better oversight and lower overall costs. The game is not allowing companies to be absent from this stage.

    With acknowledgment that increased costs would land on the consumer one way or another, I’d conclude by saying centralized waste management needs to be better funded, and more sophisticated recycle/reuse systems implemented with those new funds.




  • You think a person’s worth is tied to their genes. Pretty yuck. I disagreed and explained how.

    For the record I was calling YOU out for linking a person to their genes, just not directly, trying to be courteous to the conversation.

    Keep replying now, and you’re just slapfighting. Not worth it. I said in the last comment our positions are well known and the conversation is functionally concluded.

    I mean if it’s a damaged or failed it’s a bad gene. It caused ms!

    It’s not shitting on a person, it’s discussing a condition.

    I can understand that discussion can lead to eugenics style thoughts.

    “Oh that person has tons of bad genes, they therefore are bad”. That’s wrong though, a person can have a super fucked up body but it doesn’t change their value or goodness.

    When discussing a condition, the genes that improve or cause that condition can be described as good or bad.

    Context matters.

    Yes but those in the coops have their own possessions. Certainly if you try to take away something as basic as the food they intend to eat themselves they are going to have limits.

    A co op for managing the profits and work of a business makes great sense. But even hard core communists want their own pants and shoes and would be reluctant to give away thier own needs.

    Obviously a deal communes drive towards is provide based on your ability, be provided to based on your needs.

    I think the meme pushes on the perception of the individual of their “needs” (real or hypothetical)

    Edit the point is the meme is all about personal possessions, to use the keywords of the replies.
