We’re working on that for future solution

@ImTero have you tested to see how fast plant based plastic breaks down? I was wondering if it's faster and better for the fun-guys.

Bioplastics like PLA def break down a bit faster, but many are afraid of them creating much more microplastics and their impact on farm land/food supply/water. HIRO is first focused on the harder to break down "regular" soft plastics as there are much more of them, but bioplastics are on the roadmap

Agree. Americans, despite their reputation, are very open minded. Many European countries are much more judgemental and even straight up racist, sadly. IMO this is partially also why US startups succeeds much more than Europeans

Multiple. We have found 34 that do but are focused just on the few top species for now at HIRO

You’ll have a lot of cool opportunities to make a big impact!

More space equals to more other stuff and consumption. But fair point purely from sq ft price

Fair point. It’s only 10-12% of the population. But Europe is still better even with public schools. For example in my area the schools are not free if you earn above X. And no daycare is free. So Europe for the win

this is also highly dependent on how much you earn. If you have a couple earning over the average salary ( which isn't a high salary; at € 3.333 a month), you won't get much help.

Yep, agree. So much that I wrote a book about this in 2018 called Santa Sold Shrooms :)

Love this ❤️

Yes adult diapers are made of similar/same materials :) and thank you for your support. As I write this we’re few thousand away from the goal :)

In brief, yes they are too lazy. And the numbers all show that. In addition, the energy & water needed to blast the poopy cloths is nothing to sneeze at. Plus the vinegar mess. But I digress. The point is that it’s a major problem and cloth diapers are not a solution-otherwise it would not be a growing problem.

@@ImTero ?? Don't get it. cloth diapers are like your undergarment. can be washed in the washing machine. Furthermore, you can give your used diapers to another person once your baby has grown up.

Thank you so much!!

How come? Did you watch the video?

Yes!!!

I think I got shadow banned few months ago. Maybe around my video on circumcision. Or at least that one banned me on TikTok and maybe here as well

Yeah share it pls

I hope so too! We’re few thousand away

I literally laughed out loud 😂❤️

This was entirely a feat progressed by science, the use of naturally occurring phenomena in the form of microorganisms, along with a whole lot of determination and perseverance.

@@Kdkdleeme I agree! Well for the most part: the work that they put into this is absolutely incredible, I will definitely be looking to buy for my little one; not to mention how much this may be able to help with our plastic problem! Seriously, a big thank you to the team. I just don’t believe that the world that we live in just appeared out of dumb luck, and that our ability to reason and logic appeared out of thin air. Seems to me there’s something behind all of this that brought the world, nature, and humans into being… I mean, these diapers didn’t just appear out of thin air, right? No there was is an amazing, ambitious group of people, that brought it into being. How silly would it be to think these diapers just *poof* appeared without cause, yet we think that of the world we live in…food for thought.

Thank you for the support on Kickstarter 🙏🏼

Thank you so much!!

Thank you for sharing this! Means a lot. And thank you for supporting the campaign 🙏🏼

Much appreciated!

Thank you 🙏🏼

How come?

Well said 🙌🏼

Definitely agree with this

So you say that a lot of the time the net wage in the US is way higher. But statistically speaking that is just not true when comparing to the better off european countries. But yes US 1% or even 10% wages go crazy

If you want to compare Denmark to the US you would have to compare it to like just Massachusetts or Maryland which are similar in population. Those states both have larger economies than Denmark. They are also similar with relatively high taxes. You would compare the US to the European Union which are closer structurally as entities.

This was very well-stated. I would like to add something tangential; people compare the US to the EU as if they were competitors, which implies similar economic situations. This is not true. Europe was built from literal rubble and rocks after World War II destroyed almost all capital-based infrastructure. The US was the bigger of two world superpowers and had a near monopoly on the European reconstruction. Even with this massive advantage, far better geography, and far more natural resources, the US vs the EU is a reasonable comparison today. I think that highlights how ineffective the US is at the policy level relative to its peers.

Fair point that the range is even bigger with the wealthy as said in the video. But it’s also huge on minimum salaries. In Finland it’s like 1,800e/month and California about $5,500/month. So Nordic people definitely don’t earn more than Americans. And yes you get more for the taxes in Europe as explained in the video but many of those benefits are being cut/reduced as the economies have failed to grow

Well said

Yep true

I've lived in Switzerland as well as mentioned on the video. It's mostly nice!

Yes health care difference is like day and night. But France was/is very unsafe as well. And def there are guns. Charlie Hebdo attack was not an isolated incident. There’s major riots yearly.

This isn't quite right. US health care is a functional monopoly with infinitely inelastic demand, best stated as "pay this or suffer". Let's say you are hit by a car and need a hip replacement. In Spain, maybe that would cost $15k and be assisted by the government. In the US, they might calculate the optimal price as 120k. No amount of tax benefits will overcome that. And you would think, okay that's a special example because of the car accident. But then you multiply it by the entire spectrum of health care. Where I live now, if I call an ambulance, it has no cost. My ambulance company charged $2300 for a ride to the hospital. Etc etc. It's a huge net loss on the population. Nationalized health is a far better system.

Not mentioned was we in the US also pay into Social Security and Medicare as a percentage of each paycheck. We take home 55-65 percent of what we actually earn

@@Nightwalker86 How much healthcare costs in the US depends on who you work for. The "list prices" are farcical. Personally, I have excellent insurance through my employer so my cost for any given doctor visit is either $25 or $40. A hospital visit is $100. Drugs are $2-25 depending on the drug. With an absolute maximum out of pocket cost per year cap of $2000. So if I get hit by a car and need a hip replacement and rehab, it would cost me a maximum of $2000/yr. And as a rule, the better/higher paying job, the less it costs you. It's a stupid system, but enough people are insulated from it as I am that it will never change. It's better to be poor to middle-class in Europe, but better to be upper-middle-class to rich in the US. Very much by design.

@@michaelmorgan8311 It's a low percentage, and only up to a certain annual wage. - IIRC ~$168K currently, and if you live more than about 10 years into retirement you will likely get back more than you pay in.

@@Nightwalker86 Yeah that is what insurance is for. My point is we pay so much tax and still need privet health insurance if you want any non emergency treatment other wise you'll wait 3 years to get it sorted though the government. Just getting 100% privet insurance instead of insane taxes and privet insurance sounds alot cheaper to me.

Firstly, Healthcare costs are vary drastically from person to person in America. Many people with good jobs get health care paid for by their employer. And many people who are low income get free or very cheap health care from "Obama-care." Childcare is also very dependent on your situation. Obvious solution is to have one parent stay home or have the grandparents help. But If you really need to pay someone to watch a child under 5 years old, it is about 1k/month. I also know a lot of poor single moms also get this subsidized. Obviously, after 5 years old, public school is free. Given that median wages in America are 50k per year and both parents are working if you need daycare, that means you will still have 85k to live off of, which is totally do-able. And with the tax breaks I would estimate that this same median hypothetical couple would probably pay 300-350 per year in health insurance. So that means like 80k, which is still gonna put you in a way better position than the median for many European countries.

@@collin9085 Yes its true (ofcause) that its very diffrent from person to person. Weather you are young and healthy or old and sick. 80k $ is doable in many Mid-west states = True. But its quite few Jobs that would give a Family 100k$ in income there. Even if you have Insurance (Health) from your work ? You pay a part of it your self (33-41%) a Family health insurance cost on ave. 24000 $ , so its way more than you state. about 50% of Adult Americans have debt or problem with paying for Healthcare cost. (and it goes up Fast every year.) If you the add the Other cost (Car,Food,College,Utillity,Internet,Tax,Rent) ect. Then your Wage needs to be Very High, in order to live well. In Europe you just dont have so high Expences (and nothing to healthcare and low for childcare), so a 100 K $ wage is quite high in most places and you can live well.

@@mabuhayproductionltd3627 I'm quoting median wage numbers for all of America. So there are TONS of jobs that pay that much. It's very easy to make $25/hour across America. It is very rare to be paying 2k/ month on healthcare in America. What you are talking about is the cost of ObamaCare before any deductions or assistance. As I said, VERY few people will pay something this high. Especially if they are healthy and don't need the basic plans in case of an emergency. In Europe, you pay VERY high taxes. So you are basically paying for health insurance without the ability to select a plan that works best for you. And you pay for childcare even if you don't have a child. Anecdotally, my friend has 2 kids and his wife stays home with the kids. He makes 60k/year. He is able to live fairly comfortably. He pays basically no taxes with his deductions, and his healthcare costs are very cheap. My point is, the government gives out a ton of money and assistance here in america. And he lives in a major city.

Healthcare costs depend on the person entirely in the United States. Age, What state you live in, Gender, Medical history and Family size all influence how much you pay per month. Younger people will tend to pay less as they are healthier, older people tend to pay more as they have more issues as they age naturally. The cost of a single worker will be cheaper than one with a family. Naturally California would be more expensive than a smaller state like Kentucky. According to the government stats the average between $477-$740 depending on the circumstances and the Median is lower. This is just private insurance as well. Government plans are often free or heavily subsidized for the poor, as well for essentially all children under 19 years old, it is also free or heavily subsidized by the government but you must meet certain income requirements or be retired to get. So the European and American essentially pays the same amount monthly for healthcare, Europeans just pay for it in taxes, whilst Americans pay for it post taxes. The actual difference is that if you do happen to get sick, you will need to pay extra when you go to the doctor, something most of Europe I will admit does far better. As for Childcare that is largely unregulated cost wise and the cost of childcare begins to vary within individual cities even. One part of New York City might be far cheaper than another for Childcare. This essentially means its very hard to accurately track the cost of child care because they just vary so much. As for incomes, Incomes are still generally the same give or take a few thousand yearly state by state. Median income in every state is roughly equal, it is just that some states like California or New York have people who are so rich that it makes the numbers skewed. The difference between the poorest state and the richest state is never really more than $10,000-$13,000 a year.

@@phattorangecatto I realy don´t agree. And i think the Facts support my view. First Fact i would state is that About 50% of Americans has some Problems with Paying for Healthcare, about 50% also have problems to pay an unexspected bill of 500$. You also don´t take in, how the Broken US Healthcare System destroys US Overall competition, the cost (now 4500 billion $ a year, 5 times US Military expences) push up prices on US goods (one Major reson that US Imports way more than its Exports) You also don´t take in, All the worrie People has with insurance companys, will they cover ? how much would i have to pay, when will i get money. How much is insurance cost increasing (every year) Most Americans that goes Broke ? Is because of Medical Bills. Americans live a Shorter Life than most other developed countries. (largely because they cant afford Care or Medicin) In Europe (Except UK) you don´t go broke over a Medical bill and most can have the medicin they need. You don´t to worry about Insurance, if you change job, get fired, if they Raise Prices, If they would cover. See that Insurance CEO that was killed in Newyork, shows a wide spread Hate toward Insurance companys that would do anything? to avoid to pay (and people die in the mean time, or go broke) Your "System" is a horror for ordinary people, not worth copying.

Me neither 😂😳

Btw, I see Americans across the world. Seems they want live everywhere, except the USA. Is it so hard to live there?

@@antonsinitsyn6420 yeah, it's true. tons of people are moving out these days, especially with the crappy political climate and corporate lobbying at an all time high. Problem is for a lot of people renouncing is hard and if you own a lot of capital in usa, moving will have a lot of fees or something idk

@@antonsinitsyn6420 lol, no its not. Idk who this guy knows that literally everyone he knows is in financial trouble but its not true. Its pretty easy to live most places here. Maybe in NY or California its hard but thats it. The only reason most people struggle is because they make poor financial choices. They waste most of their money on entertainment and toys and stuff then wonder where it all went. Go to any person home, even supposedly poor ones. And they will have giant tvs, brand new Nike shoes, Apple computers, and people also tend to purchase houses that are way too big for their needs and brand new $70,000 trucks. These are not things people who are struggling do. These are things people do that make themselves struggle.

@@antonsinitsyn6420 Yes. Abridged version- no one wants to leave their home. The working people are being sucked dry by a system that does not serve them. And the voting system is very broken, so there is no way to fix it. The US is in very big trouble now with no solution in sight.

@@antonsinitsyn6420 No, it's not hard to live here. It's more of a political ideology thing. About half of the US population are leftists/democrats and a large portion of them and have been taught that America is bad/evil. So they think that everywhere else is so much better.

get rich then move to china

You are far better off being rich in America. Most European countries actually make the rich pay taxes. But it probably is a little bit easier to get rich in America.

@@Kevin_Rhodes yes, Europeans pay more income taxes. But we receive value for those taxes.

@@Eric-Marsh The poor to middle-class (if they have kids) effectively pay NO income tax in the US. They pay other types of taxes of course, disproportionately to their income. The upper-middle class to rich pay a LOT less tax in the US. Pay less, get less, but if you don't need the services from the government, not really a problem. I'd infinitely rather be poor to middle class in most of Europe though.

@@Kevin_Rhodes the rich pay taxes in america, theres just a lot of tax break loopholes that both sides take advantage of and have implimented. hopefully the DOGE will fix some of these, but thats doubtful since both parties are fans of these.

I don’t think so and neither do many of my friends living in Europe. Maybe 20-years ago but not anymore.

@@ImTero europe has free healthcare, and better social safety

Europe def does not have free healthcare. I grew up there for 20+ years and have lived in Finland, France, UK, Italy and Switzerland. In each country I had to also pay. And since then it's become worse as most of my friends have to use private dental services etc because wait times to public are over a year and they refuse to fix all issues. Is it still better than the US? Yes! As explained in the video.
