Okay, so people all stop buying plastic dolls.

The owner of an injection molding plant isn’t gonna hang it up when they can’t sell dolls anymore, they’ll just get new molds and make something else out of the raw materials they already have familiarity with and machines they already own.

There are even consultants who specialize in helping companies pivot to producing shit that isn’t under heavy scrutiny by the public.

We’re talking about an insane hypothetical though because aside from like gun manufacturers, no one owns their own injection molding machines. They all just contract out to factories that are always running one hundred percent of the time.

It’s absurd to think that the volume of plastic going into funcos won’t immediately be diverted into something else about a week after the well dries up.
