That's definitely true and top-down regulation is important so the whole economy has to clean up its act and it's not a competitive disadvantage for any one company to do it.
However, I don't like this frequently repeated claim that "it's actually big companies that are polluting!". They're polluting on our behalf, that's not an excuse.
- omeid2 3y agoIt is more along the lines of "I can't do much personally against big companies". In the same way that you can't just "personally" create a better public transport system instead of driving.
- chpatrick 3y agoYou can absolutely personally not buy so much shit from big companies. You can also vote for more public transport, which most americans don't.

Edit: Since the maximum nesting was reached. I will leave it at saying that "A party system is twice as good as a one party system".
- chpatrick 3y agoYou still need people to vote for them, and then the responsibility is on the individual voter.
