To hear the accusations from the so-called "environmental" movement -- which is really a bash America movement started by enemies and competitors of the United States and promoted by their dupes and "useful idiots" within America with the intention of damaging our economy -- you would think that America is the scourge of the planet. You would think that America is a greedy and evil country filled with nature haters who spend their entire day thinking up diabolical ways to foul the air and water and kill off wildlife.
This is a complete myth.
Take a look at this chart of plastic polluters, for example. America, with the largest economy in the world by far, produces only a tiny fraction of the world's plastic pollution. In fact, there are NINETEEN other countries that produce more plastic waste pollution than the United States. Do you EVER hear any of THOSE countries bashed? No... NEVER.
Also notice that just FIVE ASIAN COUNTRIES (China, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam and Sri Lanka) produce more than half of the world's mismanaged plastic waste and marine debris. Where are the protests against THESE big polluters? America DOESN'T EVEN MOVE THE METER.
When was the last time you heard a protest against THOSE countries and THEIR reckless pollution of the planet? Oh wait... you never hear that because it doesn't serve the narrative that America is the big evil bogey man, so it is IGNORED.
These people couldn't give one wit about the "environment." The only thing they care about is advancing their political and economic power by bashing America to an ignorant audience that doesn't know the facts.
I really had to laugh when my state passed a no more plastic grocery bag law. Why? Because our stupid governor -- a classic Democrat hack -- has his sights on running for president in 2020 and he realizes that this stupid move will appeal to his brain-dead constituents in the Democrat Party.
So now 8 and a half million people have to pay the price for the Democrat's phony environmental policy just to promote their political agenda.
But here's the kicker. What are they going to replace the plastic bags with? Ready? Here is the punchline...
PAPER BAGS !!!!!
Yes, I said PAPER BAGS !!!!
You realize how old you are when they ban plastic bags for so-called "environmental" reasons and replace them with the same PAPER BAGS that they banned for so-called "environmental" reasons when plastic bags came around!
I guess if you are a Democrat, the trees don't matter anymore, it's only about political expediency and being able to fool people just enough to get their votes.
What's next? Ban paper bags and replace them with plutonium bags?
We get the game.
I'm sick and tired of giving up my quality of life for these whining, sniveling, conniving, socialist Democrat little wannabe dictators who use "charity" the "environment" and "morality" as a false premise for their controlling political bidding and bashing the United States.
Screw you. Go try those protests in one of the 19 other countries on this list and see what happens to you.
