You have not tackled food production, you're tackling plastic waste.

That's the sure fire way to know an incompetent leader or person in general

Understand this: No human can totally focus on 100% of goals that he/she sets for themselves. That's why a person who is focused on one goal WONT HAVE TIME TO FOCUS ON IRRELEVANCIES


MEANING anyone who focus on IRRELEVANCIES doesn not have set goals for himself or herself.

That's how I detect incompetent people or Bodies. A chef really focus on the sweetness of food won't be focused on the color of frying pan being used to cook

A couple really focused on spending their whole lives together won't be focused on wasting money in irrelevant fancy wedding...attires and big useless cakes filled with transfat that only cause diabetes and sickness

That's why such nonsense marriages crash. Lack of vision and focusing on the most irrelevant thing on the planet

House builders won't focus on what color to paint a house instead they focus on the cement structure and foundation strength.

That's why whenever I see brightly colored houses on the outside, I know that a house owner has just been scammed by an incompetent builder




Suludo lacks vision by this act he's displaying.

Mind you, The recycling of plastic is a scam by plastic companies to keep producing more plastic. Creation of new plastic IS MORE AFFORDABLE than recycling old plastic

You think any company that is focused on maximizing profits would be spending money on recycling when they could just create another plastic huh

The lies they teach in school and social media these days.
Almost like being uninformed beats being misinformed
