Interesting discussion, but, for example, #Trump is being logical_ albeit within a small minded business & #American exceptionalism \ #political context. Ingroup profit seeking can drive cult-ish behaviours.

Why are massive amounts of #plastic being land filled or incinerated?

1. (most) Folk have heard that plastic #pollution is bad
2. There are many ways to recycle & reduce how much plastic products are used
