I've been searching the globe for a way to unite humanity in our plight. Ironically I found a shity half-assed way to do so. No matter how many ways you try to bleach it out of existance the residue remains. The cure is aceptance in short short-sightedness, hubris,and flaws that seem to be encrypted in the genome it's self.
We all have shared stake in raising children,careing for are elders and seeking a meaningfull life as possible. We all eat ,bleed and poop. Undies are an engenius Creation in my opinion. An an inevitability of their uses dirty drawers.
Some of us have the privelage of just chucking them in the garbage. Some of us can't or will not. A few foolish men even treat it as symbol of work ethic or thriftyness. With the cost of tuition and the rise of big box stores, im not seeing the translation. That being said even have a few pairs of my own so I understand.
Pleasantries aside let's get to the meat of it. This is a problem that rich and poor can empathize and sympathize with to varying degrees. "I want you to imagine the enitre concept of choice being removed from the equation". Every time you got your period a day early. Every unlucky sneeze when you are sick. When your tolddler makes the jump from diapers to his first undies. That embarrassing night or nights when you drink too much. The whole enchilada and combination of living and aging. "No more throwing them away". "You can only wash them once a week or two weeks". " Daily some days but it is after convincing a public place to let you in there establishment".
If you are not in a high population. You have to walk to a river with a hard board with rolls on it from the 1930's or older. Maybe even mix up the detergent yourself with baking soda lye ecetera ect. Can you imagine how much energy and time would be waisted just to the activity?
Having to plan your world around this?
Some of us can not even tolerate the pungent odor. That seems to waft around new parents of perfumed wippies and stale doo doo. What about the nasty blood smell when your period is heavier than normal? Could you tolerate rationing tampons or using rags and other toiletries not designed for that? That's a good a noble feminist causes any in my mind. " I know we can use them reusable cups envirometalist go on about". How long will that last if you can only wash it 2 or 3 days at a time? The senior citizen already know full well the implications of this cuz they understand incontinence. I'm sure they'd vote in or vote out whoever they need to to keep the adult size Pampers!
When you are telling yourself that it's every man for themselves. This is just a rat race. Finally the famous there is no state Ayan Rand crowd I hope I add some Nuance to the lexicon. Finally I did not even touch the consequences of the modern 1 use throw away living.
