You can't microwave metal containers though. Plastic and glass work well at that. I'd say a mix of containers is the best option. Boring sure. But having all 3 solves the downsides of each material.
Or we could mass produce PYREX to the point that we can use them for frozen dinners and have a recycling program for them to reuse them.
 
Nobody likes trannies, endless brown hordes, or pointless wars.

The progressive mind seems incapable of understanding this.
The democrats have no message that hits at all and no leaders. Nothing. All Harris ran on was abortion. They haven't had anything since obama and even that was weak. Can anyone even name anything they stand for except negativity about Trump? There's no platform at all.

They've been praying for total economic collapse and it just isn't going to happen. They're fucked.
 
classic old type granola and health liberal "Huh?" That always go to me was their constant bitching about the plastics and containers and linings in cans and not a peep about trying to re-popularize the perfect material to safely store food that doesn't stain or leech.

It's called glass, and it's borderline infinitely recyclable.
The inconvenient truth is the only way to eliminate plastic containers is to buy food closer to the source, but that requires actual work. Health nuts are used to buying their way out of sacrifice.

Yeah, but the Dems can still win at the State level. Look at Virginia: the VA GOP is such a absolute shit show that the ex CIA Spook is gonna win since the VA GOP basically got their own DEI Kalma Harris as the Gov Candidate (didn't even have primary, they just "chose" her). She just now put up the issue she is focusing on up on her website and its still thin as hell!

Yeah, weak GOP is going to lose always at state and lower levels. The democrat party is far from flat out dead but it's as weak as it's ever been for sure.

The whole.

We went to war for a lie was a pretty good selling point. The we ve moved beyond race based politics was also a good selling point.

biden had 4 years to pick a platform the move beyond trump and he failed. Its obvious why.

I still think the fact the dnc cordniated with the bureaucracy ham strung them as well.

I would take the j 6thers.

six months in pick 1 or 2 to throw the book at. Then do a pardon, be the biggest bitch about how bad they acted how trump abandon them, about how in the name of healing the nation you forgiving them, just fucking twist the knife.

Then pay the fucking policey wonks to find the most popular points of trumps platform and fucking steal them.

they couldnt even do that.
 
glass is easily recycled yes
but glass containers are thick and heavy which makes transporting them around in bulk expensive and inconvenient

the real winner is metal. both aluminium and steel are very easily recycled as well, and you can make a container of equivalent size with much lower mass / lighter weight (compare for example the weight of a glass bottle to that of an aluminium can)
and as an added bonus metal isn't brittle like glass so it doesn't shatter into a million razor-sharp shards when you drop it
Metal cans still need a plastic inner lining to keep the food/drink from leeching some of the metal into what you're trying to eat/drink.
 
Older pyrex, not the inferior stuff from the last 30 years.

Pyrex is heavy. There is a use case for plastic as much as there is for glass or metal. It all depends on your individual needs.
I said PYREX, not pyrex. The capitalism is used to distinguish between the old stuff that was made from borosilicate so with much thinner and lighter and durable compared to the new crap.

Granted the new crap is starting to get the capitalized brand.
 
The inconvenient truth is the only way to eliminate plastic containers is to buy food closer to the source, but that requires actual work. Health nuts are used to buying their way out of sacrifice.
Also, we've configured our energy industry to produce shitloads of plastics as a byproduct of their normal operation and refining of oil.
The real inconvenient truth is that plastic is incredibly cheap, we're not running out in any time frame of normal human concern, and it's just gonna get cheaper.
 
Despite claiming moments before that Republicans in Congress were “unified” behind his Big Beautiful Bill, U.S. President Donald J. Trump then attacked Republican Representative Thomas Massie for his decision to potentially vote NO on the megabill, which Massie claims will add $20 trillion to the U.S. National Debt by 2035; with President Trump stating, “I don’t think Thomas Massie understands government. I think he’s a grandstander - frankly. We don’t even talk to him much. I think he should be voted out of office.”



 
This one post is consistent, but I hate mixing metaphors. Zoro this, Aizen that.. just stick to one shonen please.
I'm still mentally preparing myself for the barrage of dipshits who'll spam how Trump is literally le ebil Valentine once the SBR anime starts. I don't think I'm ready.
