POTUS Addresses World's Most Critical Problem: Plastic

, with the war in the Middle East poised to erupt, endless drama in the presidential campaigns, and the border invasion now costing states billions.

And, of course, the economy is now in a tailspin.

It has been clear for quite some time that Biden’s mental capacity and ability to focus was diminishing. Perhaps that would explain the new priority for the occupant of the Oval Office: Banning single-use utensils.

The Biden administration is touting a new rule as a means to reduce waste generation, but advocates counter that the government squandered an opportunity to clamp down on single-use plastics.

According to a General Services Administration rule finalized Thursday, products without any single-use plastic packaging on the federal government’s purchasing system will soon be marked with a single icon.

The icon is intended to encourage federal agency buyers to phase out use of single-use plastics, which "will reduce the Government’s waste generation, and potentially save industry partners money by having them reduce unnecessary packaging," the rule says.
I seem to recall that was a campaign promise in 2020. Because Democrats focus on the big picture.
