Capitalism 101 at work. New demand will create new markets (and new jobs). Quit being chicken little about things you just don’t like. Do you own an electric vehicle? Good to see capitalism 101 is indeed working. Your statement about disposal keeping up with technological advances missed its mark a tad….. in space lingo. Quote

I do a lot of volunteer conservation work that I consider a somewhat of an offset. I said nothing about keeping up. I was merely pointing out the fact that demand will create ways to be met. Quote

Only extreme liberalism is anti-capitalist. I don’t consider you a fascist just because you are conservative. Only the right wing extremists harbor fascism. But you can paint with whatever brush suits you. Quote

I think the movie “Enemy of the State” should fit in here somewhere. Quote
