    Same as 20 years ago — “the fact that they want me to give up my truck and Nestle gets to dump plastic in the ocean proves it’s all liberal bullshit.”

      Truly the american way. What? Give up a tiny bit of convenience to help other people?? Freedom! Liberty!

      The true arrogance of the average American is driving their big pickup and thinking they deserve to destroy the planet.

      I mean, it would be nice if Nestle stopped dumping plastic in the ocean. But them doing that is obviously not a reason to do nothing to help.
