Trump and his idiotic #tariffs oddly present a future opportunity—‌post Trump.

An #importtariff on #plasticpackaging raw or applied, by weight.

On every other county. Every product.

Defray the costs of remediation, disposal or reuse.

Declare it as a national emergency honestly this time.

There's always been *one* tariff I would adore more than even Knucklehead: an #importtariff on all #plasticpackaging by weight.

Cheap #oceantransport of cheap #petrochemicals whose production pollutes the country of origin, only to have its excessive use rewarded with a consumer price up-valuation, for profit-making at each step by #corporations never held unaccountable for final disposal, whether landfill, incinerator, river, or some world tour.
