Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A device which is advertised as "brilliantly simple", is likely to be a brilliant purchase only for simple minded customers. An example of this is the Bag Loader, a rigid plastic frame that slides into your dustbin bag which can then be filled without punctures occuring. When the bag is full, the Bag Loader slides out again and is ready for re-use. So that makes it like a bin, doesn't it?
What can you do with a Bag Loader which can't be done with a normal bin? Athletic manouevres are called for, or an extra pair of hands to pull the rigid bin out and ensure that in the process the floppy binbag doesn't disintegrate into a messy heap. Holding open the binbag in order to insert the rigid loader requires a second pair of hands. Simple it isn't, as it requires a good measure of common sense to also make sure an over estimation is made of the binbag's capacity. Instead of solving problems, this design brings forth a whole new set. Rubbish comes to mind.
