I'm an octogenarian. WTF is it with you youngsters and your panic attacks? Micro plastics?

Deforestation

Air Pollution

Water Pollution

Biodiversity Loss

Ozone Layer Depletion

Overfishing

Soil Degradation

Ocean Acidification

E-Waste

Antibiotic Resistance

Nuclear Waste

Endocrine Disruptors

Climate Migration

Pesticides and Herbicides

But the worst is the way your armor your kids with helmets, knee pads, palm pads and heaven knows what else when they hop on a bike.

My generation didn't even have seat belts for crying out loud. Jeez.

You're on deaths door, no one cares what you think about anything.

After reading the Big Mac Index it reminded me of other indexes. Such as the Waffle House index, lip stick index, and cardboard shipment index. An easy way to teach economic concepts to anyone via relatable products.

Hey Chamath, I believe we are in the early days of a microplastic pandemic, which started years before but we only recently started to research the adverse health effects of it. I would love to deep dive into that topic and would like to benefit from your research team to get up to speed. I haven't subscribed yet but this topic would be worth subscribing to.
