More than I assumed, tbh. We need to start taxing plastic bottles.
- How the hell are plastic bottles going to pay taxes? Let's not even think about giving them jobs when unemployment is already high.
  
  If you make a plastic bottle you get taxed. If you put something in a plastic bottle to resell, you get taxed. If you import a plastic bottle for any reason, believe it or not, taxed.
  
  I mean, we can’t even tax billionaires properly!
