If a product cost more, you won't buy as much or waste as much or you will end up using something cheaper.

If the rule is that using plastic is now higher cost, we will start looking for cheaper alternatives. That's how it will work. So yes, for a while, consumer goods will cost more.

[-] Smk@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

Fuck yes.

A company that massively produce plastic consumer goods should at the very least, have some kind of way to recycle what they produce. Leaving that in the hands of the everyday people won't cut it.

Plastic has multiple type that each require a different process for recycling.

Having a bunch of plastic all mixed up together needs people to manually separate them.

It's a joke.

Because they don't care about their workers ? Do we really want cars made by Chinese slaves ? Like we do with our t-shirts ? Fuck no.

Why not subsidize electric bike Jesus Christ. Why the fuck are we subsidizing the auto industry, they got us by the fucking balls already.

Sorry but that is idiotic.

Late stage capitalism is much more hidden and affects part of the society you wouldn't consider.

An example of late stage capitalism is how we don't have time to make families anymore. It is much cheaper to bring in immigration than to allow men and women to fuck around and raise children instead of working.

Late stage capitalism will fuck with how you, as an individual, can start your own business. Look at how subburbs are made and regulated. You can't start a small business in here. You gotta go to the designated area which is owned by big box company. The only place is downtown which is now so fucking expensive, you can't even get in. He'll, you are not even allowed to build a small coffee shop for your neighbors for Christ's sake.

International economy is another factor. Look, we had a lot of industry workers in textile, electronics and other industries. Where are they now ? In China, India and other countries because we don't have to care about these people work place condition. Do you even know how much a t-shirt should cost normally? It's not supposed to be 4.99$.

This conservative vs liberal is a distraction. Liberals and Conservatives are actively pushing late stage capitalism. It's a joke. You think Pierre is gonna stop immigration? lol, that's what late stage capitalism wants. Immigrants that are easy to fuck with because they need a job to stay in this country. It's horrible.

Pierre or Justin aren't gonna do any of this social shit. They both want to get those juicy economics number up because that's a good argument to get re-elected.

I know how tax brackets work. That's exactly how you can optimize your taxes. You try to lower your income as much as possible with all the shenanigans that exists in the law. That's what I'm saying.

If I do 410k and I don't have time to optimize my shit, I'm penalized because very rich bro that owns company and shit can hire other bros to optimize their taxes.

The sad thing about high taxes like that is that it can penalize normal people with a normal, high income job. 400k won't probably matter but in my experience, I have a high salary and I don't have the time or even the money to hire a bunch of people to optimize my taxes in a tax free-heaven paradise.

Normal working people shouldn't be taxed like crazy. Corporation is the thing we want to target. Large corporations. They have the mean to evade the laws.

The common man and women does not. Even if you have a small company, you do not have the time or the money to ignore the laws or taxes.

Capitalism isn't made for big corporations. It is made for small company competing with each other. How the fuck the common Man is supposed to compete with Walmart? Like, what??
