In 50 years people will back on us the same we look at all those people in the late 1800's and early 1900's using asbestos in tons of stuff.

It makes me long for the days where everything was either metal, glass, or wood, before my time though.

There is a show called silo, and they don't use plastic, it'll took me a couple of episodes before I figured out what was wrong

What's the premise of the show?

I try to buy non-plastic stuff when I can, but it's everywhere.

Or like back in the 1900s when they used to use chloroform and cannabis as baby sleeping medicine.
