John Oliver

John Oliver's Last Week Tonight is the show 60 Minutes wishes it still was.

Main story - Plastics


The manufacturers of all that plastic shit practically invented the modern version of Externalizing Cost.

The manipulative bullshit message is that pollution is a problem the consumer has to deal with - the makers of the materials that are polluting everything don't actually exist. Somehow, once they've released their shit into the world, they magically disappear and have nothing to do with any of it ever again - they are nowhere to be found in the cycle of production and consumption.
