Possibly worse, we got rid of lead gasoline, there's no getting rid of plastics
I'm sure the rich will have a treatment for it before too long and the rest of us will just suck it up
Fun fact: it's not the plastics itself thats usually the problem, but rather the solvents and conditioning agents used to characterize the plastic during manufacture
I know what you were getting at, but just pointing out lead gasoline still exists today, primarily in small aircraft.
As a lincuck who isn't secretly into horse fucking, I'd be lying if I said I refuse to get off my high horse.
