Maybe I‘m being too suspicious here, and should take off my tinfoil hat, but this plastic panic feels a bit like the next distraction by oil companies to stop any movement on the energy transition. Especially these types of articles where it’s said that both are equally bad, or plastic pollution is the next climate crisis.

The climate crisis will render most of the earth uninhabitable within a 100 years if businesses as usual continues. But the plastic pollution crisis is thus far mostly hypothetical, yes it’s everywhere, yes it’s probably not the healthiest substance to have in your body, but most articles fail to mention any proven effects even remotely close to the health effects of, for example, smoking.

Again maybe I‘m completely wrong here, or it’s the classic stupidity of journalists misinterpreting and exaggerating earnest science.

Maybe it’s time to restart some some old Greek traditions and propose a law that anyone proposing chat control - from here on out - gets banished for life from entering European soil ever again.

That reads like a description of the chatgpt start page. Just a prompt to start a conversation with a (mostly) helpful tool. But the moment they obtain absolute market dominance…

The west showing once again that the only way to be a sovereign nation is to have nukes.
And the west showing once again that for them international law is nothing more than a tool to wield at their discretion against their geo-strategic rivals.

We‘ll see who folds first, the global export halt is to stop leakage via third countries, thus the question is: can the US set up a parallel mining industry before the stockpiles run out.

Des que tu parle une langue civilisé!

And remember to speak extra loud when they don’t understand it the first time, it always works.
