    This is the consequence of letting companies release and monetize whatever they want, without any proof of safety or criminal liability of the consequences. This is how we ended up with asbestos polluted land/structures, a lead polluted atmosphere, acid rain and deadly waterways, a GHG polluted atmosphere, etc, etc.

    We let corporations monetize and mass produce anything they want without evidence of safety or recyclability, and we don’t even hold them liable when they poison everything and everyone.

    Capitalism is like a drug dealer trying to produce the most addictive product. It is not based around long term… anything. It’s based around short-term everything.
