There's a reason why the vast majority of the US celebrated when one millionaire, mass-murdering piece of refuse was gunned down in the street.
Imagine the party that would erupt if it were one of Donald's golf buddies.

Of those things, only one will reliably work though.
Plastic recycling is a scam, otherwise perfect.
How did we get lumbered with that chud of a packaging material.
Glass: rinse me out, use me again. 💪
Metal: melt me down, good as new. 💪
Plastic: I can't be shredded and turned into road surfaces without my lid...
Money. It's the consequence of living in a system that prioritizes profit over humanity and environment. Metal is expensive, glass is heavy and doubles shipping costs. So we created a cheap, non-renewable non-recyclable material that we can use once then bury in the ground (or simply create random environmental disasters) for future generations to deal with. Profit today, consequences tomorrow.
Hmmm doing 3 of the 4. Doesn't seem to work. It's time for the 4th one?
A lot of people are seem to be fans of murder.
Personally, I see it as a waste. I'm partial to creating a project to establish a mining colony in the asteroid belt, and sending them there, never to return.
The thing that a lot of people forget about the French revolution is that much of the same ruling class stayed in power and it was mostly common people that got the guillotine under the guise of revolution. If we were to establish a mining colony, Trump and JD Vance might get sent to space but the same institutions and practices would stay in place under a different name because I assume we'd be mining for profit. Let's find a way instead to dismantle capitalism.
What a lot of people also forget is that the french revolution resulted in an absolutist dictatorship. It took a few revolutions and centuries to get France into a somewhat democratic shape.
The issue here is that a revolution requires a strong leadership that is fast, decisive, and unquestioned. Good revolutionary leaders rarely make for good democratic leaders who voluntarily step aside to let the people choose another leader.
If the french revolution were to happen in the 21st century USA, it would be much more likely to be done by white supremacists or some other exteme radical group than by anyone non-radical, and chances are that the US would end up with a totalitarian regime afterwards that would make the orange clown and his gang look like school kids.
Costs too much.
Could instead be turned into Soylent Green. Or fertilizer.

I agree with the intent of this 100%
I tend to think the people who might not don’t have a clear understanding of what “for profit” means. My dad heard “for profit” and goes “yeah, that’s a good thing. I work for a profit too”
We need some clearer way to express “exploitative and extractive profit”
When my local mom n pop shop makes a profit, it’s so they can maybe expand their menu or open another location across town. Maybe send their kids to college. Or even buy a summer home, extravagant for most but still pretty reasonable. When ketamine king makes a profit, it’s by exploiting millions so he can feel like the worlds most special little guy and light another 5 years of global breathable air on fire in the process.
We don't need a different work, we need people to learn what they mean.
Your father does not make profit, he makes a salary/wage. Profit is the surplus revenue after expenses.
my dad does make a profit, he owns a small business.
Is he the only employee?
nope
Tell him to stop stealing from his workers.
is making a profit enough to expand your operation stealing from workers?
Which is it, a business expense or a profit?
if it's being invested back into the company it is a business expense, if it's going into his pocket it's a profit.
it's probably a little bit of both. idk, i'm not involved and disagree with his politics. but he's a good target for what you'd need to do to change minds because reasonable explanations can get through, but he's been poisoned by whatever cultural influences reagan imposed on his stupid little kid mind; believes in trickle down myth and such.
