Try out a Moka pot first if you want to save on money. The espresso is quite good for the price $5 vs $500

Admittedly, I don’t know much about the details of the history of ISIS. But from what I understand I agree, the material conditions that resulted from the US’s invasion of Iraq was a major significant factor in the rise of ISIS

I consider all ambitions to form an ethnostate a flavor of Fascism

Since at latest 2004, a significant goal of the group has been the foundation of a Sunni Islamic state.

Depends on the root cause. If the terrorism comes from a place of desperation for liberation or emancipation, addressing the underlying material conditions would prevent that kind of terrorism. A great example of that is Apartheid South Africa and Ireland. On the other hand, if the terrorism comes from a place of Fascism, like ISIS or the KKK, I think funding progressive and democratic opposition and also education would have the most positive effect. Holding the terrorists responsible for their actions and jailing them accordingly is really important, but to solve the underlying cause is critical to end it entirely. Otherwise, if the root cause isn’t addressed, there is no reason to believe the terrorism will stop.

It’s important to keep in mind that nothing is really ‘static,’ the molecules consisting of the plastic and food are still vibrating and decaying into its local environment due to entropy, everything is to some extent. While strong and resilient, plastic molecules will still ‘leech’ out. The concern is more to what extent. High temperatures and liquids would be the highest risk factor, while low temperatures and solids would be much lower.

I think storing solids in plastic at room or cold temperatures are fine. But I avoid microwaving or storing hot items in plastic and opt for glass or ceramic instead. Our entire bodies are already compromised with micro plastics so for me it’s just about minimizing exposure when I can

The heat releases BPA from the plastic which will leech into the food
