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.
Wait, but it’s on track to being completed.
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 garbage patch isn’t even primarily from people littering. The majority is from agricultural and fishing industry.
