    I have never seen such a label. Do you have a picture of one?

    Nah. 'Climate change' is what the Church of Global Warming worships. It is not the Church itself.
    Oddly enough, one does not have to define what one worships!

    All plastics break down under UV light. Bacteria in the soil and in the ocean will eventually eat it. Plastic is food to them.

    But here's a question:

    Why are resealable packages used on underwear and socks, but not on potato chips?

    Works for me. There is no need to recycle them either, since recycled paper is expensive and practically useless. You can't even use it for bags. The fibers have broken down too much.

    We're here, dude. You are living in one right now. Like the last one, it was artificially created by the Democrats.

    Guess you never saw wages growing because you had your head up Biden's butt.

    Thanks to the Democrats and Biden, many are on semi-permanent welfare. Communism doesn't work.

    Coal mining can be good money. I don't think you appreciate how much some of those miners make.
    Since you obviously don't want to work, and would rather sponge off of those working at Krogers and fast food restaurants, I don't blame them for being angry at you.

    No slave labor in the States. Everyone gets paid for their labor.

    Good worth ethic will advance you out of the common entry level job and you can make enough to buy a home.

    Roofers make good money.

    No one is jacking up any price. Obviously, since you are a welfare sponge, the concept of price discovery is quite foreign to you.

    But you don't. You just sponge off of others.

    Nah. I just buy them at the grocery store. No lobsters around here to catch. We do have crayfish though, as well as crab.

    Obviously, you have no appreciation for the fisherman that go out to catch lobster, and the money they can make doing it.

    I prefer McDonald's. No long lines.

    It doesn't. Self checkout, BTW, requires fewer employees to run. You obviously don't appreciate the people that make all those self checkout registers, or the money they make doing it.
