MacGyver without the mullet.
It's been 100 days and the US economy is now officially shrinking. Canada just chose a leader who pledges their opposition to our country. The birthrate is below the replacement rate. We've allied ourself with dictators and alienated Democracies.

Is this the prequel to the Handmaids Tale?

I learned some things in this article. First, there is about 50% MORE microplastic in people today than 2016. Second, they found an average of about 1 plastic spoon in brains of cadavers. Yuck.

Is anyone else too grossed out with chewing gum?

Most gums are mostly plastic. You are delivering a concentrated dose of microplastics directly into your body. If you spit it out, it becomes litter that won't degrade for 100s of years. Think of it like chewing a wad of flavored plastic wrap.
A single piece of gum could expose chewers to 250,000 microplastics
