I mean, when the definition of economy can be "how the species produces what it needs" then the answer to a problem is probably capitalism even if that answer explains very little

Years ago they got sued or something for factual reporting, basically only giving airtime to candidates that campaign on reality-based issues. Ever since then they have been giving equal airtime to both major parties. You can hear it in their voice that covering Republicans must be like a punishment

He might be an idiot but he's still useful. The tariffs are another price increase, he gets to bluster and blame other governments and leaders for the prices while working class folks adjust to the new costs. Then businesses unaffected by tariffs get to raise their prices commensurately. And if the tariffs get canceled the prices can stay up. Just like with COVID his first term

You're right, I misremembered It's not just about breaking the seal on the cap, the mere friction of the cap on the bottle adds the bulk of microplastics found within

I was thinking of an article from years ago where they were talking about macro plastics nearly visible to the eye getting into the liquid from breaking the seal. Can't seem to find it now though

Yes but to a much lesser extent. The act of merely breaking the seal on the cap injects a lot of plastic into the liquid, so skipping that has to count for something
