For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Unfortunately, the plastic tax is enacted in terms of climate upheavals, and levied upon the poorest people in the world, usually in some other nation entirely rather than the originator.:-(
That's, why we need a monetary plastic tax to discourage its use.
Except "we" (imperial nations) don't want to pay that, generally speaking.
Notably, some places do think of such things though, and do have such taxes in place. Though conservatives are now in charge in many places in the world, so these are the local hold-outs against an overwhelming global trend.
