>Things that exist, no one gives a shit, and are useful:
I think many of these things are deliberately suppressed and put out of business by big corpos. For example I've seen many good plastic alternatives. Just as tough in most cases, often cheaper because they're made from plants and shit rather than oil you need to scrape from inside the earth with big ass machines, and biodegradable. Never heard from them again. I think these ideas die out because they can only get grassroots support and the average normie only thinks of, for example, climate change, in vague terms -
>erm we need to reduce emissions to save the planet
>we achieve this by…
>idfk let the politicians handle all the thinking lol!
so it's difficult for them to market to the masses because many people hear "seaweed based plastic alternative" and their eyes glaze over because they don't realize the good it could do if it could reach production at scale. add on top of that, many corpos are in cartels, formal or informal, and people in those circles tend to know each other. Big plastic knows big oil who knows big pharma and so on and so forth (yes I realize plastic is made from oil, it's illustrative) so they never get the astroturf money and die because despite being great ideas they're often operating either at a loss or their only clients are hipster burger joints or some shit. We could be doing so much better for the environment if we used half the shit that comes out these days but the powers that be insist on fossil fuels, single use plastics, concrete, and so on, and so on, and so on. Eventually we're gonna reach a point where the damage will be irreversible and the fat cats won't give a fuck because they made their money. So much for the free market driving innovation.
