And deserves to die broke.

And obscene profit while destroying poor families is kind of their brand.

Yeah, "the locals don't want to do this kind of work" at the wages I pay them.

It would drive up the cost of milk and milk products like baby formula, which is a hardship for poor families, but of course the government COULD step up more on WIC, because we know the GOP cares so much about babies and children!

Thinking now, I wonder how much of the American milk supply is bought by Nestlé. I bet there's a way they could eat the extra cost and still make a profit, just not an obscene profit.

Yes "Fight boobs with boobs!" would be a good English equivalent.

So where do we get our funding? I'm thinking about a billion, if we call it The Big Beautiful Golden Study, sponsored by plastic and dishwasher manufacturers.

Lucky for the company, they don't appear to have hit any trees

Well, once one makes big headlines, and clicks, the media realizes it's been a neglected source of revenue.

Interesting thought, we'll have to include it in our study. I posit that the microparticles from hand washing will be larger anyway, because method, and will include plastic from the scrubber as well as the containers.

Hotter yes, but no plastic-on-plastic scrubbing. And not reusing the water wouldn't change the amount of plastic, it would just be diluted in a larger amount of water. My guess would be, larger particles. But I can see why that would have to be its own, more complicated study. Because so many more variables.

And yet somehow it lasts forever in a landfill.

We can't win.
