    Really gotta wonder how America hasn’t invented a corn-based, low-cost, durable polymer that breaks down in typical landfills.

      I’m sure it has been. Just like a million other world changing inventions that have been captured/killed by the powers that be

        Or just killed by reality. Just because it has been (hypothetically) invented doesn’t mean that it’s easy or even possible to manufacture at a large scale and/or at a reasonable price.

          Sure thing bud. Just ask those people that have threatened industries like big oil with inventions in the past, if they’ve alive to tell it. Or even perhaps people like Nikola Tesla. Stay woke my lemming. Not all conspiracy theories are crazy
