The news media industry is a weird market. The media are trying to extract constantly decreasing money from people with constantly increasing addiction (overconsumption) to internet news by constantly decreasing quality of content and incre

I'm not sure the problem has a technology solution. I would rather prefer policymakers to impose an obligation that any importer of packaged goods must collect an equivalent amount of similar packaging garbage and utilize it at their o
