Sorry sunshine, wrong place

British Columbia, Yukon, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California are all getting together to go on permanent daylight savings time, which will be called Pacific Time. While I applaud this, I would prefer the permanent position be the fallback time, not the springforward time.

Canada is banning plastic grocery bags, soft plastic six pack rings, plastic straws, stir sticks, cutlery, and certain takeout containers. I applaud this. My enthusiasm for banning these plastics is immense. My only question is, what took so long?

As with COVID deniers, the plastic-ban panickers appeal to some "higher issue" to mask the real reason for their panic: that the number one thing they fear is being inconvenienced in their post-modernistic comfortable individualism. So they say stuff like, "BANNING THOSE PLASTICS?! BUT GOOD LORD HOW ARE WE GOING TO FEED THE HOMELESS!!!"

The translation of which runs: OH GOOD LORD I'LL HAVE TO GET USED TO THOSE CUMBERSOME PAPER STRAWS WHILE I'M WOLFING DOWN MY BIG MAC IN THE PARKING LOT!!!

LOL

Right, all of a sudden you're so concerned about neo-marxist social issues like feeding the homeless. LOL. Yes, and feeding the homeless is totally dependent on plastic. The Chinese and Japanese have been using bamboo chopsticks all these years, but we simply have no alternatives to plastic cutlery and plastic containers. LOL. We will not be able to figure out a way. We will not incentivize the textile industry. We will not incentivize the bamboo/weed tree/wood fibre industry. We will not incentivize the farmers of flax and hemp and cotton and other plant material that provides fabric and a thousand other materials. It's plastic or bust. We must destroy the earth with it. We have no choice.

Yes, just like COVID. We cannot wear masks, we cannot take safety measures, because figuring out new ways and acting in solidarity is the great inconvenience that cries to the heavens for vengeance.

Right.

They also appeal to the boogeyman of LIBERALISM! SOCIALISM! COMMUNISM! MARXISMBUTABORTION!!! And figuring out new ways is godless humanism!

LOL. Sorry sunshine, wrong place.

The fact that their political enemies (who they have absolutized and dehumanized as absolute evil and incapable of doing anything good) have started catching onto reality in some ways and are implementing Catholic teaching on care for the environment, while they themselves (the True Catholics) have been asleep at the wheel, drives them totally batty.

There are some who oppose such environmental stewardship simply because it's a politician like Trudeau who is giving it the go-ahead. I'm no fan of Trudeau. But these fundamentalist idiots, as always, shoot themselves in both feet by turning him into absolute evil who can never ever do anything remotely good. If he's doing something good then it must mean he's using it to commit GREAT EVIL!!!! But C. Columbus giving children as sex slaves rape victims and butchering the indigenous people in the thousands, ripping them apart with dogs - it was complex and he did so much good and we must retain his statues at all costs!

One internet mystic-locutionist who, by the implications of his own words, is more infallible than the Pope, recently stated that the Pope's remarks about same-sex civil unions has introduced the beginning of a persecution the likes of which we will not have seen since the French Revolution.

LOL

Anyways, it's pretty much, oh yeah? What's that you say? Where is the pandemic everyone is talking about, and where is the pandemic of plastic, because you don't see it? Okeeydokeey flatearther.

Sorry sunshine, wrong place.

They’ve found many creative ways to do that and I’m very heartened by the stories I have heard about how people have reached out in a virtual way, by telephone and other ways to support members of their community." --Dr. Bonnie Henry
