[See the full post at: Debt Rattle July 18 2018]Ilargi, I was derelict in not replying to; Treason? Get A Life!
I was too busy beating the weeds of distraction.
You did a bang up job on that thread and I have no nits to pick, not one.
Thanks; you keep TAE at the top for quality of writing and analysis…Speaking of spam, did you see the new strawless Starbuck’s cup uses more plastic than the old one? Jevon’s paradox. Human nature at work. That’s probably why they were using the straw: all things being equal, less plastic is cheaper.
No doubt they have paper/degradable plastics that will break down in days underwater, but that leads to the next problem: price. And price is a factor of production and the supply chain, so generally there needs to be a critical mass to drop the price. Solving things, instead of complaining, is a lot harder and a lot less satisfiying. We don’t go forward unless the new thing we like better.
Remember Paris, and Hemingway stacking up espresso cups on the cafe patio, the waiter in a white apron accounting them at night’s end? Not all prices are things. Not all experiences. Use less and often your life is more. When you have one tin cup you love it more than a castle’s Wedgewood china set.
Did you see Comey saying the President is a traitor and anyone voting Republican is un-American? And these same guys are in Congress under oath saying they have no bias against Trump and the Republicans or against Flyoverland that voted him in. History will have a hard time recording this. So for the record, bias that says everything one party does is evil, illegal, their very existence must be stopped, is not bias and they have no particular prejudicial belief that one party or person is evil, illegal and must be stopped as recorded 50,000 times in emails. Got it? This from the upstanding gentlemen who backed the legality of Guantanamo, waterboarding, citizen drone strikes, the Iraqi WMD, the payoff of Iran, and a dozen other top 10 hits. Sounds legit.
Or as Comey would say: “I used to be Snow White but I drifted.”

Mae West. 😉Did you see Comey saying the President is a traitor and anyone voting Republican is un-American?
No, and why would I?
The U.S. is an insane asylum; who could possibly plumb it for knowledge or wisdom?Thank you for the kind words, V. Arnold.
I saw something, of course can’t find it back, where a craft brewery had made one of those things that keep a six-pack cans together, that was not just bio-degradable, it was actually edible for aquatic life. Yes, of course we can easily use much less plastics. But oil is a powerful industry.
Have to laugh at that deluded best “growth-oriented tax programs in Europe”. Ireland, The Netherlands and Luxemburg: they just happen to be the three biggest tax HAVENS in Europe!!
As demonstrated by the volume of articles, that are not about what Trump did, said or whatever ….
life keeps doing its thing.“I saw something, of course can’t find it back, where a craft brewery…”
A great idea, with the packaging material being a by-product of the brewing process. They’re hoping to get the big brewers to do likewise.
Saltwater Brewery in Delray Beach, Florida, recently released edible six-pack rings, a brand-new approach to sustainable beer packaging. These six-pack rings are 100 percent biodegradable and edible—constructed of barley and wheat ribbons from the brewing process. This packaging can actually be safely eaten by animals that may come into contact with the refuse.
