Not ironic, just good planning
Another
viewpoint flip.
I've been making the usual
sardonic schadenfreudisch comments about the Eastasia/Eurasia switch from the "Plastics" Crisis to the "Virus" Crisis.
In 2019 we were supposed to avoid all plastics to Save The Ocean.
In 2020 we were supposed to buy new plastic ballgags every day, then throw them in the ocean.
Just now I stood back and looked at the situation from the opposite angle.
If you were planning to make and discard trillions of plastic ballgags, you'd want to slow down other uses of plastics for several years in advance, so you could STOCKPILE plastics.

Incidentally, I never bought or accepted any of the official ballgags. I rigged up a muzzle from an old T-shirt, rather cleverly fastened with zipties. It has minimally complied with the demonic "rules" for 14 fucking months, needing no purchased or new materials at all.
