Basic psychological class warfare to make you feel like you're not doing enough or you're not smart enough... buddy, the game was on before you were born. The trouble with this dumb stuff is that if enough people quit, the system folds.
Scientists have turned plastic bottles into edible cookies called µBites
They're made by taking the microbes out of the plastic and rebuilding them into “something like a protein”

I’ve seen a lot of people asking why CIA Director Ratcliffe took a C-17 to Russia instead of a Gulfstream. There are two very good reasons:
1. A C-17 has defensive countermeasure systems. A Gulfstream does not.
2. Ratcliffe was riding in what’s known as a “Silver Eagle” pod loaded in the C-17 cargo bay. It’s loaded with advanced communications systems akin to what’s installed on Air Force One.

The US Navy is an incredible fighting force. Twenty warships and two carriers are deadly to the Iranians. The Navy has enormous offensive and defensive capabilities They are well out to sea and difficult to find or attack.
The problem is logistics. The Iranians have ended the utility of Army, Navy, and Air Force Persian Gulf logistics bases which have been hammered by ballistic
missiles and drones.
Now the Fleet will be supported from Diego Garcia and the Philippines. We will disperse air power to Western Saudi Arabia and southern Europe. The Army will harden our dispersed missile forces.
We are in the middle of a strategic disaster with no allies or support from the American people.
It's a little odd to know when you time will be up. On one hand your ego fights this. On the other you gain peace from things you don't need to worry about.
