No, my argument is that the system you propose results in ring leaders escaping responsibility and people having to commit crimes in order to feed their families. Look at any socialist country, almost any dictatorship, or the work of any bu

Disgusting. The EU asap needs to pass some law or something to force the monopolists to fix that.

Disposing not cost that much. Plastic disposing is CHEAPER than it's production.
