Doesn’t have to be one you think is true or even possible. Could be niche or mainstream. Mine is probably Mike Tyson threw that Jake Paul fight. I heavily believe Tyson did everything he could and is just old. Not to mention he’s fighting a roided up good athlete in his physical prime with a limited engagement strategy. I do like hearing people argue its all staged, understandable cope.

    99% of plastic recycling programs are useless and are staged to make people feel good about themselves.

      This isn’t a conspiracy at all. Plastic recycling was originally driven by plastic producers, to shift the blame for pollution away from themselves. Basically, it was a way for the producers to go “it’s not our fault the world is full of plastic. It’s the consumer’s fault for failing to recycle all of it!” They saw the inevitable plastic mountain on the horizon, and took steps to ensure they weren’t going to be blamed for it.

      That’s not a conspiracy LOL, there’s plenty of greenwashing around that costs more in environmental effects than if we’d just partied like it’s 1977.

      Yeah, over well over 25 years ago, like I was a child and thought adults knew everything…my uncle said all of your recycling goes to China and gets burnt. So I reckon that this one is definitely, undoubtedly true.
