What a strange assortment of money in that wallet. Several 50p coins, some Euro and Eurocent coins, Euro notes, a £20 note and an Isle of Man £1 note.

Kim Kardashian said otherwise lol

All those unpaid interns are talking about how the kk family are a bunch of liars after Kim said people don't want to work anymore. Please please don't buy their products.

What makes this worse is the fact it's the result of the very, very few at the top living in obscene luxury.

Sure, but that doesn't mean you should buy a Hummer and throw plastic in the sea.

Insurance companies often obstruct healthcare

Yes, this. Why don't people who proudly display ther Hermes belt or Gucci handbag realise they're basically the unpaid version of the guy wearing a sandwich board advertising a caf?

In The Netherlands it's illegal to commercialize pharmaceuticals.

Technically, weeds don't exist at all. Where I live, they've now been rebranded to "wild flowers and plants" and are actively being handed out to plant everywhere because, as it turns out, bees are better off with more of these types of plants than they are with the garden varieties. Or so I've been told.

I never understood why/how this started in the US. I don't think anywhere else in the world has it tied to their job.

Back in the 90's, fat was considered to be the cause behind obesity, hence the "fat-free" or "reduced fat" food trend.

The Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court practically guaranteed that this would happen. Equating corporate money with free speech was one of the most destructive legal decisions in the last 100 years.

So some company, many years ago, made nylon stockings. All the workers were given a pair for their wives to try out. They discontinued making the same stockings, because they were high quality and never wore out, so these ladies never had to buy new pairs. They purposely made crappier ones after that. A lot of companies are doing it and it should be illegal. Not only because of the morality, but also because of the toll it takes on our environment to create (and have to transport and put to waste) 10x time amount of stuff that would otherwise be necessary

And they ship them off to poorer countries to handle because 'we don't have those capabilities'.

What we need is federal legislation making it illegal to sell or manufacture anything plastic in the USA that we don't recycle here, unless it's biodegradable.

Now let's be honest and admit that recycling itself is a scam b/c they are just dumping it.

I started doing a lot of research in to what actually gets recycled. How I uch water are we wasting trying to do the right thing by trying to recycle nonrecycled plastics.

"It can't be THAT bad if we can put it in a recycle bin."

I've Seen One Compactor Truck Pick Up BOTH Wheelie Bins

In practice recycling of plastics is everything but going well. It is an excellent ideal but at the same time a ruse. Consider the fact of the amount of different available plastics in products which makes it hard to differentiate. Most plastics are too polluted to be recycled without huge extra energy/resource costs. The recycling process is reducing the quality of the to be recycled product hugely by each loop. Unfortunately this is just one of many processes that go around in our society that in the end is far from the ideal we wanted it to be. Yeah I'm a researcher developing new biodegradable plastics for clinical or industrial use. Dont believe the lobbyists promising a proper solution, nor the [local] government as they lack the proper knowledge to discuss the facts that matter. Ask those that really know professionally.

The simple truth is we are drowning in plastic and have been for a long time.

I think the inventor was looking for a way to save the trees used to make bags but didn't realize the mess it created

Plastics can be turned back into oil for about $10.00 a barrel. Unfortunately, the oil companies have done everything in their power to kill the technology. The oil that comes from plastic is about as pure as it gets and the refineries can't deal with it, so there a is very limited market for resale of this recycled oil. The out gassing can be recycled back into the facilities to heat the building or run equipment. There is an entire town in Canada that recycles plastic to heat the town. But, like everything good we can do to recycle plastics, the oil companies will stop it, because it is a detriment to their bottom line. The ash that is left from a barrel of oil, is about the size of a toaster. The technology is there and so are the big oil roadblocks.

Even if every household recycles 100% of their plastic, that doesn't mean 100% gets recycled. Some isn't recyclable in every country, with deliberately confusing labels suggesting it is. Some gets lost. Some gets burnt. Some ends up in the oceans, and ultimately in our food. Some gets recycled... a handful times.... only to become so unusable it can't be recycled any more. And that's IF everyone recycles plastic at home diligently. Then the oil industry decide to troll us by adding more fresh plastic into the mix, adding more to the pile.

We are quite a few steps ahead in Belgium then, because here we actually DO recycle tons of plastic...

... the lie only works because it works. You CAN recycle most plastics, it is the limited effort that is invested in the entire lifecycle of a product that prevents it from having a massive effect. The use of plastic needs to be optimized - sure, we cannot without anymore...

There are way of recycling plastics but I it was not invented by some big company - it just ain't gonna fly! Most CEO's can't see past the bottom like and take a risk!

They pay us 10c per plastic and aluminium container here so it’s a habit

Everything about weddings, imho. Such a con. I played in a wedding band a couple weeks ago. We were paid obscene money. I overheard a woman explaining to a friend that she and her fiance had saved $30k toward their wedding and therefore were about halfway there. I just find spending that on a one-day party to be absurd, I wouldn't expect someone to drop 30k just to show they love me. Good gods, just tell each other you love each other and put the money towards a house

Or that they are rare. Diamonds basically are a total scam.

Yes! I can only see the point if it's an area where the tap water is undrinkable.

Because unions fought to get the work week down to 40 hours. Corporations wanted you to work 12 hour days seven days a week.

Three very big scams

I found my dads mum and family this way, no regrets and I’m a nobody, they can keep my dna 😂

I really wish the government would bring in regulations to limit the use of single use packaging. They banned plastic shopping bags of a certain thickness, but have not gone any further. (In Australia)

Except car seats. Buy proper car seats for your kids, folks.

You haven't met me before I've had my breakfast and that all important first cup of coffee! If you do, you'll soon change your mind!

US is weird. The government already has all your information. In most countries people don't need to file taxes every year, unless they own a business.

Don't blame the dog! He's a good boy.

There was also the fact that there were silk and nylon shortages during the war, so women's legs were on show so unshaven legs were noticeable. Then of course you had the swimwear fashion changing in the 60s+ and more skin was seen. The swimwear companies wouldn't show models with bikini lines in their ads, so razor companies profited from this too.

Years ago one company hid a prize in the terms and conditions that you only got if you read them.) It had instructions to claim the prize.) It might have been Apple, anybody remember that? I don't think that would happen today because the trick would be blasted on social media and defeat the incentive to read them.

what does "c**p" means? English isn't my first language and slang isn't my strong suit.

Nothing wrong with drinking milk if you like it. If you don't, there's other sources of calcium. Calcium absorbs better in an acidic environment, that's why Tums is not a good calcium supplement. It doesn't have an acidic environment. Calcium citrate is best absorbing.

100% agree. Pointless. Use the money for something important and worthwhile. Down payment on something..or an emergency fund. A year after I was proposed to we sold the ring. He didn't pay for it so we just profited off it. Never regretted it.

I don't want anything shop bought for Mother's Day, I couldn't care less - I live getting handmade cards from my kids, breakfast in bed and having them take over for a day - zero money involved, ideal day for me to sit and relax

What's a nurdle? Never heard that term.
