How do you mismanage your resources so bad that you run out of melted sand?
Cause there isn't enough melted sand of the right type. It's all slightly different and we're running out of the good stuff.
Guess we are gonna have to make do with the melted sand we have good thing its 100 recyclable with green energy.. whats that you still burn hydrocarbons despite have better cleaner tech for decades? Whats that you also dont recycle because you let a paper clip maker ai infect your mind with profit extraction and capital accumulation. Damn homie hope natural selection is kind to you.
having to buy my beer in an old-timey wooden keg because our very efficient economic system ran out of glass
It's happening in the Midwest as well. One of the larger bottle producers offshored their manufacturing to India during the pandemic and as a result glass bottles are increasingly hard to find and getting much more expensive
The absolute irony of living near a desert and experiencing a glass shortage.
It's even funnier because now that they've offshored production, other companies are ramping up their production in the states and are taking over the market from the first company. Some dumbass executive saw that they could save $0.XX per unit and now is losing their once fairly captured market. Very rational and efficient

aluminium cans are more energy intensive than reusable beer bottles, and 80% of german beer is bottled in said reusables.
Also here in the UK and much of Europe lots of drinks companies have been using crappy, thin aluminium cans that puncture in your bag as the price of aluminium spiked at the start of the war.
I got no issue with cans but there are people with aluminum allergies.
aluminum dust is strongly linked with dementia as I recall. I assume cookware and containers are similarly not ideal.
I'm not sure, I'm actually aware of this from machining not food or packaging.
Yes, there is a layer of BPA inside of aluminum cans to protect the aluminum from the corrosive effects of soda. That BPA can and does leech out into the beverage inside, and does actually affect taste.
Guessing mason jars are going to be hard to find again for the first half of next year as well. :pain:

This is ridiculous. What are people meant to throw at the police in the winter food/energy riots ffs?
Well, at least they put some thought into long term planning instead of just clinging into just in time logistics and going :yiiking-out: when the inevitable happen.
