“Foamed polystyrene” is a miraculous invention that manages to be completely awful through every step of its near-eternal “life cycle” — it is manufactured with petroleum that must be imported from Middle East dictatorships, toxic “styrene oligomers” migrate into the food it holds, it’s highly flammable and produces black poisonous smoke, and most of the 25 billion polystyrene cups tossed every year will take more than half a millennium to degrade. And that’s why the Republican-led House of Representatives made it an immediate priority to cancel the House cafeteria’s four years of biodegradable food and beverage packaging. It’s part of the GOP leadership’s “return to the mid-1990s” program. Nancy Pelosi sure was a yucky woman trying to do some sane environmentally-minded things, wasn’t she? Thank the American Jesus that woman is no longer in charge of anything. A disgusted House staffer has shared the following eyewitness report with your Wonkette.

Subject: Bullshit styrofoam in the house cafeteriaToday the House cafeteria switched all the containers back from compostable and/or recyclable containers to styrofoam as another spit in the eye. This shit can’t be recycled, we are basically forced to throw Styrofoam in a landfill if we want to eat in the cafeteria.
Somehow this bothers me more than the EERE cuts.
Yeah, but the composting program cost money, and anything that costs money is very, very anti-American! Because money turns people into socialists and enviro-nazis or something. Also, the Koch Brothers say global warming is a Hoax! (Did you know the Koch Brothers literally bought an exhibit in the Smithsonian so they could make it say catastrophic climate change is just a happy part of every life here on Earth? It’s true! And it’s at the National Museum of Natural History, today! Kids, stop worrying! Another species might replace you in 165 million years! (Maybe a smarter species?)
It is morally okay to litter this Koch exhibit at the National Museum of Natural History with greasy styrofoam containers from the House cafeteria.
Anyway, more than a hundred American cities and counties have banned polystyrene food packaging — that means, “It’s illegal to use polystyrene food packaging,” because that is what people with brains do when they’ve recognized a problem, such as “the oceans are filled with bits of styrofoam coffee cups, forever.” And now the U.S. Capitol has proudly stepped back in time so that the fat-ass corrupt corporate lackeys of the Koch Brothers can report back to their masters that they really showed those treehuggers this time. [Washington Post]
It is also morally okay to pile up greasy styrofoam containers and coffee cups at the door of Boehner’s offices. Please send us pictures when you chuck your anusburger plate into the speaker’s lobby!

Did the Senate gift shop run out of "World's Greatest Asshole" coffee mugs?
Why, yes. Back in January. The beginning of January.
And now they are replacing them with Worlds Biggest Asshole styrofoam cups.
And it would probably be even more appropriate to toss them into the Koch-funded propaganda display at the Smithsonian. Take a Sharpie with you and write "Die, Kochs, Die!" on the cup before you toss it, so folks know you're engaging in constitutionally protected political political discourse, rather than just littering.
No, it had to order a whole sleeve of them, in Styrofoam, for the freshmen.
If I had a Republican handy, I'd kick him/her, just on principle.
Freedom foam?
Polystyrene cups are the perfect metaphor for the Repubicans: White, lightweight and bad for the environment.
Lightweight? You must be referring to mental acuity and not Body Mass Index?
Also styrofoam cups' bottoms are frequently and easily penetrated by a man's finger.
In addition to an upfist, you get an "ew."
Dammit, I'm recovering from the flu here and your comment nearly sent me into paroxysms of coughing.
Not to mention only useful once -
And when would that be? (The Republicans, not the cups.)
LCM: I must agree you've got an excellent point.
Would "one-time" be better?
Also, you shouldn't leave either one around children.
Every day I'm more and more sure these people are so eager to get raptured they'll do anything to hurry the process along.
That seems to be it, huh?
I'm thinking that I would LOVE to help…
I'm really looking forward to the rapture, too. The world's going to be an amazing place when those people are all gone
At last, the New World Order we've been looking for!
Jeez, even McDonald's, for crying out loud, stop using that stuff for packaging. They don't even use it as food anymore.
R.I.P. McDLT
Alas – kids today will never the joy of a fast-food sandwich where the hot side is hot and the cold side is cold.
I got into an argument in 1972 (!) with an employee at the MacPlace when I asked if she could just hand me the damn McMuffin (wrapped in waxed paper so OK) w/o the Styrofoam™. She kept telling me that MacClowns' rules didn't allow that. I demanded the manager, etc. I guess I came across as kind of a bully, cause the poor employee broke down in tears (yes I know, but I was an arrogant 20 yr old with little social acumen at the time). The mgr repeated the rules, I accepted the Styrofoam™ and proceed to throw it on his sidewalk on the way out.
(I'm still conflicted if that last act was a good thing or a bad thing.)
Anyway, it was twenty years or so before I stepped into another McAnus.
Some where an injin's crying.
The resurrected polystyrene cup, that can never be destroyed or die, is symbolic of White American Jesus, who will appear upon earth and fix all our sanitation problems, but He will only reappear when all education and social welfare programs are slain.
If I was a bartender at a bar in DC that catered to Republican congresscritters, all their drinks would get the special secret "dick swizzle" before being served to them. But first I would go out and contract a horrible STD.
Just give 'em a "liberty swindle" instead: Make his drink as ordered, collect his money, and then punch his teeth down his throat and give the drink to somebody who deserves it.
Master of subtlety, you are.
I don't know. You could really hurt your hand punching someone's teeth down their throat.
I prefer to use one of those heavy-duty "cheater pint" glasses; the ones with the really thick glass on the bottom and a 14 oz. capacity (12 oz, if you give it a head.)
Aw, who am I kidding, I just aim for the throat, not the teeth. I can't stand the sight of blood.
Is this akin to ramming things down throats? Because this is an A+ idea.
Use your penis: you'll get a returning customer and a good chance to contract that STD at the same time!
I think a two foot long length of 3/4 inch galvanized pipe or a good sized tire iron would get the job done while minimizing the risk of damage to ones' knuckles. If applied correctly, it also quiets them down considerably after the first dose if they make too much noise gargling blood and their teeth. They aren't worth the effort or concern of a fair fight anymore.
Bah – you need to do it the Chicago way. They put one of your people in the hospital with no insurance, you put one of theirs in the morgue. Did no one listen to Sean Connery?
The way some of those upright Christian family guys drink, your peter would fall off and be permanently preserved from the alcohol like that frog you dissected back in 7th grade.
Good luck with that Baldar, I've been trying my best for years and years and all I've been able to come up with so far is Crabs and the Clapp. Signed: "Still Tryin' in Atlanta"
I know from personal experience that there is some kinda chemical in some lemon-flavored tea that I had in a styrofoam cup once that dissolves the plastic. Find that chemical and put it in each Lemon Drop that they order! I know, I know, the Lemon Drop is a girlie drink, but it's apparent that Republican Congressmen are kind of soft inside no matter how butch and gruff they are on the outside.
They'd only be "earth-raping" if the earth is a man.
Or boy.
And it would have to be forcible. If the Earth doesn't resist, it's not rape.
Have you SEEN how the Earth dresses sometimes? Sex is in the air!
Or a tranny.
Really, the republicans are real assholes, your're kidding. Why take care of the planet, Jebeeus will be back soon to fix shit these republican bastards destroy.
We have an entire major political party of U.S. America that is made up, to a person, entirely, of assholes.
I agree 100 percent and they are republican
That's a given.
You need the styrofoam to make the homemade napalm… come on folks, calm down this is just a nod to their Brothers in Arms/Militia supporters…
Sheesh. You folks will politicize anything!
Well it is consistent with their 2nd amendment policies (the right to destructive weaponry of any kind) so I guess I'll cut them some slack. Curse you, conservatives! You're always one step ahead of us.
Homemade napalm is called a "Carolina pancake" around here. I learn that from a friend years ago who at the time was a fireman. People would toss that crap on the firefighters as they ran into buildings responding to alarms. Wish I was kidding about that.
Does anyone know if using that shit causes some of the icky evil chemicals to enter the body of the user along with the food? If so that would be the only good news. You gotta hand it to the Rethugs–when common sense dictates doing something they will always do the opposite.
Sure it does. Try this experiment: Weigh a styrofoam cup on a sensitive scale. Then fill it with hot water and let it sit for a couple of hours. Dump out the water, let the cup dry thoroughly, and then weigh it again. Multiply the difference by 365, and you have a styrofoam cup user's average annual intake of various miscellaneous chemicals (styrene, ethylbenzene, pentane, who knows what else). Officially these are at non-toxic levels, of course, but I'd personally rather do without them.
Non-toxic, maybe, but not safe in any real sense. Especially if you microwave the container (you aren't supposed to but people do – myself included). Given what we know now about soft plastics and birth defects (creepy, creepy stuff) this is not a tone any responsible employer should be setting.
Then again, they are Republicans, so responsibility would be expecting too much.
Republicans are going to bring back the McDLT!
They probably have recurring wet dreams that every day they wake up it's still 1980.
Does that mean a revival of Jason Alexander's singing career, too?
The McDLT was the only adequately segregated burger ever sold in America. God did not intend for the mixin of the fixins.
Dang strait. Ain't no body callin me no lettuce lover.
"Segragated Burger!" No wonder the Rethuglicans want to bring it back.
I just wish they'd bring back the Bonus Jack. Oh, it is back. Well, I guess they're good for something!
they get us coming + going. Boehner's chem-farm body of perfectly balanced poisons will also take 500 yrs to degrade
Johnny Boner is participating in a "pre-enbalming" service, where they render his skin leathery and saturate his internal organs with chemicals that don't biodegrade.
But he will look great when they put him in the pyramid they are building for him on the site of Lincoln Memorial.

You adorable little ragamuffin!
It's 100% recycled animals!
They need to agent orange the shit out of the mall and make more parking for fat tourists.
They're not tourists, they're "HoverRound Americans"
Polystyrene should be outlawed everywhere and this –
http://www.ted.com/talks/eben_bayer_are_mushrooms...
used instead.
Corporations using mushrooms is change I can get behind. Just make sure they leave a few for the rest of us.
If G-d didn't want us to have foamed PS packaging, he wouldn't have made the dinosaurs, killed the dinosaurs, turned them into hydrocarbons, revealed the secrets of chemistry to a buncha Frenchmen in the 18th century, and given the Western world the political, economic, and military might to exploit these resources as He intended.
QED, libtards.
I thought Jeebus rode around on dinosaurs, is he part of our oil too?
Yeah, he's the easy-to-refine light sweet crude that oilmen love so much, rather than the heavy sour crude that's such a bitch to turn into gasoline and plastic gewgaws.
This is a popular misconception. Jesus was a dinosaur rancher, it's true, but he actually rode around in an extended cab pickup that his dad got for him.
Just his old robes and stuff. You could be burning Jeebus fuel in your car right now!
Hey, where did this giant handbasket appear from? Oh, well might as well get in it.
The earth is not going to be here in half a millennium anyway so why worry? Rapture anytime now peoples. Rapture me up, Scotty.
I really can't enjoy any meal unless it's served in styrofoam clamshells and consumed with plastic knives, and forks whose tines break off in the food, and garnished with some sauce-like substance squeezed out of a foil packet you need tin snips to open. Then you clean up with a tiny paper napkin, and suck your watery Diet Coke out of a (guess-what) cup through a polystyrene straw. Mm-mmm good, and you know it's safe cuz the clerk left a little bit of paper on the straw.
If your food packaging waste isn't at least double the size of what you ate, then you're not doing your patriotic duty.
I think fast-food burgers are the "Jell-O 1-2-3" of entrees, with liquid, solid, and foam phases all in one ready-to-eat package!
Gotta love those paper straw condoms.
Have they reversed Nancy's non-smoking policy yet?
Smoking on the House floor would be awesome. They might even let Barry hang out there once in a while.
They smoked Boner… to a nice Salmon hue.
Styrofoam is the Jew of liberal packaging.
Wolverines!
In the Republicans' defense, deep fried packing peanuts are pretty damn delicious.
Have you ever eaten a corn-starch packing peanut?
Oh, have I ever. They're one of the few perks of working in a stockroom (free razor blades being another.)
At a retail job I had a little more than ten years ago, the stockroom manager—who happened to be one of Shepard Fairey's roommates at the time, and no slouch in the tagging arts—used to lick one end of a peanut (which turned it into starchy superglue), and then stick it on the wall to create these cool, whitehead-like portraits of his co-workers.
They're the pea-nuttiest. Plus cholesterol-, transfat-, and sugar-free!
My mom's cat fucking loves the biodegradable, melt-down when ya lick 'em packing peanuts. It's CRAZY.
Seriously, she eats them.
This is just like when they ripped Carter's solar panels off the White House roof and then used them to bludgeon some spotted owls to death. Why do it? Because it gives liberals a sad, which is an end in itself, apparently.
It's like these morons that take great pleasure in announcing to the world that they are stockpiling incandescent light bulbs.
Despite the fact that they would save money on their electric bill, they would rather do something to piss another human being off.
Actually, the all-out banning of incandescent bulbs has seemed to me like the wrong way to go — a sales tax on them, akin to existing "vice taxes," would've worked far better. That way we'd make money on the idiots stockpiling bulbs!
And the new special of the day is Condor Pizza.
Petty dipshits!
I visited the The Great Pacific Garbage Patch and all I got was this hard to diagnose rash.
Same thing with the folks whose employers make them pickup highway trash. The roadside doesn't seem littered until you start looking and realize it's just fairly evenly distributed., but there's plenty of it. Some people — many people, apparently — think the world is their personal trashcan.
I would take part in a beach clean-up if there was a good chance of finding drugs in a watermelon.
Also, all cafeteria waste must now be burned in open pits on the south lawn of the White House.
over which whole cows will be roasted 24/7.
I'm surprised they didn't contract with Dixie to funnel some more money to the Koch brothers
Who says they haven't?
Dixie is usually all about the paper…….styrofoam isn't as satisfying as killing trees.
Dixie makes foam cups, too. I've got a huge stockpile of foam and plastic cups, pretty much all with the Dixie brand on them.
I run a little hotel in a tourist town, and people leave whole packages of that shit (and other stuff) behind if our hotel happens to be the last stop on their Great Northwest Vacation.
I haven't bought mustard in 6 years, and I actually use quite a bit of mustard, on hamburgers, polish dogs, and delicious sammiches I make at home. Plastic cutlery? I've got 50 pounds of it, in every shade of the rainbow.
And those styrofoam coolers? I've got about 14 of them, I try to give one away every time a guest asks me where he can buy bagged ice. So anyway, some of it is getting recycled.
But see, we can always grow new trees; paper just doesn't have the same "Fuck you, environmentalists" message.
One side favors a thing that can only be used once, the other prefers something that can be reused over and over. Tell me, which side is "conservative" again?
Conservative ≠ conservationist. This was clear enough to me when I was a tadpole reading Ranger Rick Magazine.
I guess you aren't counting how often they are reusing failed ideas from the past?
That's recycling of a sort, I guess.
Well, garbage is garbage, but paper is made of trees and trees actually do grow on trees and kinda rapidly degrades, whereas Styrofoam™, not so much.
As a geologist, I take the long view. In 400 or 500 million years, all the present continents and the landfills and all the other shit we have cluttered them up with will have finally been subducted into the asthenosphere as a result of plate tectonics. Problem solved!! Well, except the Pacific Trash Vortex, which by then will have become the Oceanic Trash Vortex and will have achieved consciousness.
And on the plus side in areas not subducted, future geologists…way future geologists… will be a easily identifiable geologic layer filled with plastics to define the Age of Man.
It'll be like the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) iridium boundary we use today to define the point when the asteroid struck just before the last great extinction event.
Archaeologists, too. Plastic is as typical of our age as pottery is of the Neolithic!
And hey, the Sun is going to swallow the Earth when it expands into a red giant in about five billion years, so why should we care about preserving the planet?
Sorry ANWAR, Senator Inhofe can't very well hold his Freedom Fries in his hand now can he?
Oh no. Another first person account from a Wonkateer. I hope you guys have learned your lesson and sent a reporter to personally investigate this before some Styrofoam lobbyist sends you a nasty letter.
You can hear the styrofoam lobbyist coming, he squeaks when he walks.
BTW, in the next couple of weeks, Barry's Bolshevik Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius may declare styrene a carcinogen. Put that in yer pipe and smoke it Mr. Streaker Boner.
Les Freres Terrible a la Koch probably made money on the paper cartons anyway, so I say boycott that freaking place and make your own lunch. Mark Bittman would agree, wouldn't he Ken?
Banning styrofoam cups is a job-killer. And as far as the environment is concerned, when Jesus returns, he will burn all those cups in hell and thus save us from our trash.
Unless you own a southern pine plantation, then the move to paper containers is a-ok.
This is just a temporary measure until they can get production ramped up on containers made from the ground up remains of slaughtered kittens.
"The Itchy and Scratchy Reality Show".
Spike? Is that you?
I've gone on more than a few of those depressing Bataan beach marches myself (though mostly for the free syringes and cocaine, because I am a poor).
Everyone not familiar with the amazing work of British artist Stuart Haygath should definitely check it out. Without the generous contributions of assholes such as these, his Earth-rape assemblages would not be possible.
He's really amazing. Thanks.
Not saying there's a connection, but this happened just days after a lobbyist provided several key GOP reps with polystyrene sex suits.
Poly Styrene? Oh bondage, up yours!

From my brief experience in my 20's, cocaine is a lot like budget cutting…the idea sounds great but reality is both numbing yet anxiety-provoking.
At first I thought you wrote "in the 20's" and figured you were a time traveler. But no–you tried it the same decade (of your personal strifespan) as I.
I was generally pretty receptive to the idea of recreational drugs when I young and indestructible. But cocaine was by far the most disappointing thing I actually tried. Like I needed to be more of an impatient, twitchy, selfish bastard than I already was?
Coulda swore those were baby seals. But then I spent as much of the 80s as possible in a stupor of H.S. Thompsonesque proportions.
You try cutting a hole in the bottom of some wimpy, biodegradable container, or in a good, sturdy styrofoam container, and sticking your dick in it, and see which one you can get your intern to grab onto.
Popcorn Surprise!! Great icebreaker on that first date!!
Do not try this with a styrofoam cup full of hot coffee. Trust me on this.
It worked for Pat Boone.
Some cities employ skimmer boats that collect some, but not all, of the trash that washes into adjacent rivers or bays via the storm drains each time there is a heavy rain. They collect a lot, but barely a fraction of what washes down.
If my agency brings this shit back, I'm going to feel morally obligated to save all the trays I can, chop them up into confetti, and hold a super happy birthday party at the Smithsonian Koch Brothers Exhibit. You're all invited!
"We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,

We got department stores

Got styrofoam boxes

Got fuel to burn,
got roads to drive.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world."
See, Neil knew this would happen.

Oh Ken, you think the styrofoam is dickish just wait until they rip out those water bottle filling water fountains.
Of course the joke will be on us, as the Republicans will be able to keep warm by the mounds of burning Styrofoam, while the rest of us freeze in the coming apocalypse.
Without it, how could we protect all of those slave-made laptop computers and iPhones and Droids and all from the rigors of shipment?
Smarter species to come? No way to know. What we do know, according to Gerald Edelman, is that the human mind developed a physical mutation of the brain that allowed consciousness to process the unfolding of time. This brain development is thought to be unique in nature. A lobster's brain lives purely within the present moment, much like that of the average Red State commenter.
Until the hominid brain became capable of this ability to be self-aware within time, all of existence was perceived along the lines of the "if a tree falls in the forest does anyone hear it" question.
Given the length of time and number of accidents that were required to create this awesome capability within humans, it's not likely anything will come along to replace it once the styrofoam kills us all. But it will have been a great run while it lasted.

Tell him that, when it comes out the other end, it will probably be just the same as when it went in.
But the Jerbs! Just think about all the Jerbless Styrofoam workers who will be given their valuable and well-paying Styrofoam-Making Jerbs back. Remember, the Republitards ran on creating Jerbs.
But, the dishwashers! Who will think of the DISHWASHERS!!??
(Maybe they can get jobs at the Styrofoam factory.)
The horror!
You know what else is going to last a half-a-millenium (x2, that is)…
Boehner's defense of DOMA?
The deficit?
Certainly not boehner as Speaker.
Take heart, OneYield. Here in Floridumb, our felon of a Governor has defunded the coastal cleanup program
And there is a fine line between making the right choice and looking like an asshole. Now, the Republicans already look like huge ass-wipes by doing this, but if some staffer with a shred of environmental conscience tried to bring their own gear and use it at the cafeteria they would be called out for being an effete snob. Also, too, you have to take into account how much of a hassle it would be for the cafeteria people to put up with people bringing their own plates and containers through the line.
Gah. I am now obsessed with the House cafeteria's set up. Please, do not tell me how this cafeteria is set up or it will trigger my eco-OCD.
Gov. Walker's crosseyedness is just a physical manifestation of all rethuglican short-sightedness. The absolute Bizzaro thinking of all of these focking eejits simply blows my mind. Has karma taken a sabbatical, or just been laid off?
A low density poly(ethylene) water bottle could not be reached for comment.
Excellent. poly(wannacracker)?
What are we gonna do when these fucks destroy the planet before Jeebus is ready to rapture us? Anyone thought of that?
May 21st is just around the corner. No problems!
It wasn't enough they had to bring back this plastic crap just to show the world they're back in charge.
They had to lie about it and claim the biodegradable forks didn't work. Well, here in Northern California we've had them for years and they are very strong and function quite well.
Of course, we know how to use them…
NOR-CAL… fuck yeah!
House GOP Caucus= A bunch of Koch Suckers
Fuck the future! Live for now! And by the way, use DDT on the White House grounds and make sure the asbestos fireproofing is put BACK IN. Michele must now wear pantyhose as well. That about covers it. Oh, and start the reruns of "Leave It To Beaver" on every channel, every day, constantly. I don't know why they EVER canceled that show.
Have you seen Jerry Mathers lately?
Remember how George H.W. Bush promised to be "the environmental President"? Sure, it was mostly just lip service, but he did sign the amendments to the Clean Air Act that helped end the hole in the ozone layer and acid rain. It's sad that today's Republicans are so bad it makes me nostalgic for that guy.
on the plus side: massey mine indictments today.
Of all the stupid things to do to reduce costs, if it does, this has got to be in the top ten.
There is no insulation from my hate.
The GOP's public policy is based entirely on childish resentment and petty hatefulness. They don't even care about this stuff, I am sure, its just "you commie tree-huggers gonna tell me I can't have styrofoam? Fuck you, we're gonna make it mandatory to put styrofoam in everything!"
Alas, it wasn't my find, and in the end it went to a lucky law enforcement officer.
Dammit, cops never have to buy their own drugs!
Perhaps we could dump the Bros. Koch in a rotting watermelon on a toxic beach somewhere?
When I was doing my time (stupid kids) I was fortunate enough to get on the "Road Crew" (because it was better than sitting around). After one day of picking up trash along 5 miles of road I made a vow to take better care of my trash… people used to "drop" Js for us… that wasn't a bag of coke though.
Are you allowed guns in the House yet, or are you still restricted to beating your opponents with canes?
Next we'll return to using CFCs and halon. We'll show the Earth who's boss!!!
Personally, I can't wait for the impending return of cyclamates. Tasty!!
The Freedom Agenda marches on!!!
What can they say? Republicans are just a bunch of cocksuckers who ruin this planet just to spite those who care about saving it. Not to mention, they're gay for the KKKoch money as well. What I'd like to do is put a landfill on Rush Limbaugh's and the Koch brothers properties and fill it with shit like this. Watch, the justification will be some synthesis between "communists hate free markets" and the "terrorists win", or whatever Frank Luntz's fat, useless waste of protoplasm ass can come up with to dogwhistle dumb whitey that only minorities will be hurt by these products.
Well, now LISTEN. The fundie Jeebus dictated that ALL things in the world were put there by him for the fundies to use. Jeebus requires that Styrofoam plates and containers be used because the fundie Bible says so. So just shut up about it. Any good Jeebus fear x-tian would use the cups and plates and containers and like it.
All hail the mighty styrene oligomerarchy! Now I get to find out how many chemists there are on this site…
Did these assholes have any reason for going back to plastic that lilves forever, besides just being assholes. No. Apparently just being an asshole is a good enough reason. Fucking assholes.
Pelosi and Obama, you could easily end our long national torment.
Please come out with a brave stance against drinking bleach and let the conservative trait of placing pettiness over logic work for "WE THE PEOPLE".
Also, if you are dining near a Republican congresscritter, it is OK to rub a piece of dampened styrofoam between your fingers over and over, trying to get the squeak just right.
we are all bigots
so filled with hatred
we release our poisons
Some high class poetry right there,
What blows my mind is they legislate this crap.
Bring back Asbestos!
Just be glad they didn't go with their first proposal, which was to make it out of subsidized tobacco, shredded union cards, and pulped puppets from PBS shows.
Even the Chinese government banned styrofoam years ago. Been generally obeyed, too.
It's actually a “return to the 1850s” program. We're just seeing the early phases.
thanks for reminding me that despite both sides being in the bag for Corporations, there really is one side that is more idiotic than the rest
