Well, you're not, but your parents are.

Whoever actually buys the thing is.

wrong. the pollution from production is the fault of the producers. they can choose to do otherwise.

Gotta love commie logic lol

Have fun on Thanksgiving break.

"commie logic" is attributing culpability to the people who do things. i wonder what kind of logic wouldn't make people responsible for their own actions?

I work at a corporation. We don't do environmentally the right thing because leadership doesn't care and operation needs to be cheap. Whenever I suggest something it falls on deaf ears.

It's very obvious who can decide to change something in a company.

Weird. I work at a corporation and our entire model is built on sustainability

Not sure how this is relevant to any of this discussion tho

The point is that neither employees nor consumer can be responsible for the decisions of capitalists. And they aren't held responsible by anybody, not even by normal people like you. Come on.. connecting points here with you.

Oh no, I get it. It's just adorably wrong.
