Yup. It's pretty much a grift. Y'know those Keurig cups, that are "recyclable"? They get "recycled" straight into the furnace. They're literally burned as fuel to drive turbines via steam, or if that's unavailable in the area, they're just chucked into the landfill with the rest of the trash. Cardboard recycling? Sure, if it's essentially untainted/brand new cardboard. Delivery box from last night's pizza delivery? Fuck right off.
California, and Oregon on the west coast and a few other states across the country, have state wide beverage container deposits. You pay money at purchase and it gets refunded if you return them. As you said the only thing with any intrinsic value is aluminum but the deposits are made to at least make sure plastic and everything else gets
I don't recycle anything with food residue on it. Goes straight into the trash.
An Israel attack is extremely likely, if not certain at this point. Its just a matter of time.
White guilt educed racial self hatred
If Israel takes out Iran's nukes fully with a strike, I'll be laughing that the morons that put anti-semitism so beyond all logic and fact, just pure hated, that yes, Israel vs islamics is like the most iconic comic book good vs evil.
The industry doesn't want them back anymore, its just a tax now. Any cans/bottles not returned the state keeps the deposit.
Hobo trash collectors can be pretty helpful. I remember throwing out a broken office chair late at night and I left to get something to drink from the store and as I was walking home hobo rode his bike past me with my chair strapped on the back. Dude saved me like $30 in furniture disposal fees.
Cardboard can be recycled, but you can't have just recycled cardboard. You need virgin pulp for it to actually stick together into a cohesive mass otherwise it just crumbles
You pay for the can?
"Here's an example of blatant racism you've done"
Anti-semitism is when you don't trust a nation of insane people that constantly threaten everyone with nukes when there's a possiblity they won't get their way.
Who are we going to war against that Israel is against? Palestine isn't even a country. We're allies with most of the more sane nations in that area too.
Nobody votes at the local level so it’s really easy to get these positions if you have even a partially competent campaign
I usually don't even both for voting local. All you see is maybe a sign outside. Usually they aren't even party specific. I used to just pick the top or or random, but I stopped voting for lower tickets I have no idea on. A lot of them are unopposed too. I figure mostly it's the friends and family and if they have a good social network that gets them in.
My point exactly. You can very easily get into a position of power in basically any city if you run a proper campaign and convince enough of your personal network to chip in. Local elections are the equivalent of selling candy bars for your baseball team, everyone claims they went door to door, but we all know they just had their parents take the box to work.
It would be kind of funny as an experiment to see how much one party could influence the hell out of, say, a town council seat in the middle of nowhere.
