It's reddit all over again. The top voted post is wrong. You post correct info with sources and you are buried at the bottom.

The plastic particles are small enough to enter the cells of your body. No filter can let dirt through and block micro plastics.

All the plastic objects you listed are the long term cause of micro plastics. You don't get micro plastics from the plastic wrap on food or plastic straws. Micro plastics come from the straws thrown away that slowly break down into micro plastics over decades.

So avoid plastic to help the environment, but that won't change your micro plastics injested right now. It's in the food itself.

The micro plastics are in the soil. If you live urban or suburban, your soil is likely more contaminated with micro plastics than food grown on a rural farm.

I see it as an addiction like gambling. You put in some time but don't always win. That causes a bigger positive feedback for when you do win.

Then the win is a delicious fish and you're hooked.

Yeah I'm not down voting either.

Trump was only referring to one consequence (Nobody has money because Biden bad.)

But Trump didn't say that nobody has money. He said some don't have money because of Biden and therefore can't donate. If we assume the default is some money but not extra to donate, that means those who can donate have extra money because of Biden.

I made it work with the lions.

My point about intention was that a lion can be an unreasonable force of nature like a hurricane. So swapping a lion for a hurricane didn't change your argument.

If you actually give the lion intention then you have lions that are blocking some people and helping others. I get your point that a policy can have only negative effects. But Trump's scenario has some with negative effects (no money to donate) while others have a surplus of money to give away.

Sounds like how Stalin got his start. "If I just kill this small group of bad people things will be better."

Oh no, the people who replaced them are corrupt too. Ok, this next wave of executions will surely send the right message.

Option 1 is done by China and the US/EU are blocking them.

That'll last 6 months and then he will quietly get an exemption to work from home

Considering that the pyramids used to be encased in white limestone that was all taken by everyone over the years for building homes, this one of the least crazy ideas I've seen.

 

Don't know how old this is but it was new for me today!
