I dont see any subreddit rules or in the description that the subreddit is only about that. Maybe you should make your own sub called coolfuturology or something, because this article is clearly one that "seeks to hypothesize the possible, probable, preferable, or alternative future(s)"

It kind of is bad, because if the other convictions get overturned ALA Bill Cosby, they just gave up a perfectly legit case that would have kept him in there. Imagine if there were 3 other cases that convicted Bill of the same behavior. He would still be in jail. Famous horrible criminals have a very odd knack for getting out of prison.

I'll bash Apple on all kinds of stuff (anti-competition, breaking older phones intentionally using software, gouging customers, etc.).

A product making false calls that need a simple "it was a mistake" discussion for a feature that has saved MANY lives, is not something bashable.

Im sure that is the majority of the people then, because you have a single anecdote. The need to buy single use, overbuilt small garbage bags alone is more plastic. The reusable bags are really shit and more than double the plastic use. Ask Glad (plastic bag manufacturers) if they support the grocery bag ban. I would put money on them actually lobbying for it.

Not only was it not even close to 1% of the issue, it doesnt solve anything.

For those downvoting me, how about disputing these facts rather than getting upset that you believed the lie that you were a earth saviour by using thick garbage bags for 2 purposes instead of the thinnest possible garbage bags for both.

Didnt you hear? We got rid of plastic straws, that fixed things.

We also got rid of those thin grocery bags that you could re-use as garbage bags. Now we have THICC grocery bags that have hundreds of times more plastic, but break down in a few dozen uses, and truly single use purchasable small garbage bags instead. THAT FIXED THINGS
