   I give all the plastic to the TREE HUGGER Democrats that say they have   
   the answer and apparently their policies failed... they can't recycle it.   
      
   Sounds like the energy industry as well...  Democrats mucked it all up   
   as well.   
      
   Democrats got it all wrong and they can't produce a working solution to   
   any of it.

   *The first rule of SURVIVAL CLUB* is we talk about it, we hate   
   censorship. Never trust what Democrats or Marxists tell you. Make them   
   prove it with actual verifiable facts and science. And if you didn't   
   find the duplicitous lies in what the Marxist-Democrats told you then   
   you didn't dig deep enough. The *Gruber* *Doctrine* is the   
   Marxist-Democrat plan that says it's "to the Democrats advantage to have   
   a lack of transparency and then lie about everything".

   *The next rule of SURVIVAL CLUB* is   
   302. Only in Democrats Dystopian America... Could people claim that the   
   government still discriminates against black Americans when they had a   
   black President, a black Attorney General and roughly 20% of the federal   
   workforce is black while only 14% of the population is black. 40+% of   
   all federal entitlements goes to black Americans, 3X the rate that go to   
   whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics!
