    Proving once again that every man-made problem on Earth can be solved through appropriate resource allocation, which is only hindered by those hoarding the wealth, and those in our governments whom they pay to protect their wealth from practical use.

      It’s not really a solution as it will be a perpetual requirement until we just stop putting out so much plastics

      Wait, but it’s on track to being completed. I think this doesn’t support your argument people think it supports.

      I mean, in this individual instance, people with money gathered together and started solving a global problem. The poor people didn’t do shit. The hoarders of wealth gave freely to fix the problem. Capitalism saved the day here, comrade. Now, quit littering, so they don’t have to do it again.

        The garbage patch isn’t even primarily from people littering. The majority is from agricultural and fishing industry.

            That tells us all we need to know about your deductive abilities 😅

              That’s weird comrade because I was using inductive logic.

                  It’s futile to fight this type of internet rhetoric with logic. The sophomoric arguments of pure communism, socialism, or capitalism are made from great minds of the early 1900’s. Yet people in lemmy flock together behind “capitalism” is bad.

                  Why use logic against childish arguments. It’s more satisfying to poke at the echo chamber.

                    But you’re not doing anything other than proving why you wear a dunce cap.

        Except it actually isn’t. If you read the article, they say they could clean up the whole thing by 2034 but they need 7.5 billion dollars. So in fact people with money haven’t actually done anything yet.

          I see that’s what this crowd is getting out of the article. Title literally mentions it’s on track. And funds have been raised and being raised by the evil rich.

            The title is a lie, and it becomes clear in the very first sentences:

            the Ocean Cleanup has announced that it’s on track to eliminate the Great Pacific Garbage Patch by 2034.

            If it can get the necessary funds, that is.

            That’s a big if.
