    but like, why wouldn’t they recycle their bottles? PET bottles are the single easiest to recycle plastic, they very obviously have the infrastructure to do it, are they just not doing it in the US because being shitheads is part of their mission statement?

      Recycling plastic is a sham created by the plastics industry to make us let them create as many plastics as they want. Yes, it can be recycled, but a heck of a lot of the time, it’s not profitable to do so, and a certain percentage will be littered, fall off a truck, or whatever, and end up in the ocean. Ultimately, that’s all their fault for making it in the first place.

      If a someone manufactures poison and sells it to whoever wants it, and someone puts it in the water supply, who is more at fault, the person who put it in the water, or the person who profited by no-questions-asked sales?
