    We can do this with wet wipes, but carbon is a bridge too far?

              That’s only true if it’s more profitable. Companies sell plenty of shit to Americans that is banned in other markets. We’re basically a dumping ground for a lot of cheap “has been linked to cancer” products.

      Nobody has ever explained externalities to them clearly. Instead they just yell at them and call them fascists. So it’s understandable why many of them don’t get that they’re paying for the damage the company places in public spheres.
