I assume not doing something under any circumstances means doing it as soon as his donors think it's helped clear the news cycle of something they don't want in it

To be fair her attitude could be because an ant looked at her funny 2 days ago ..

I wonder if there's some kind of doctrine devised by the early modern Israeli government that basically amounts to the only way to not let Jewish people be at the bottom of the boot again is to be the boot, and the Israelis have just been quietly working to emulate the Nazis as per that doctrine ever since?

Or its the classic victim/abuser cycle but replicated on a nation scale.

Or just arseholes being arseholes.

Why not all three?

Yeah and at the end of the day the cost to make things more recyclable will still likely be born by the consumer in higher prices instead of higher local government rates, but we could at least be forcing more recyclable packaging and better product choices with circular lifecycles.

Unbridled capitalism sucks. The drive for ever increasing profits is a race to find the most loopholes. We as consumers have mechanisms to protect the things we care about in government and regulation and it should be working for us collectively, not to just help a few sociopathic arseholes consume harder than anyone with another private yacht. Sadly government tends to be easily captured by private industry.

The solution is simple, have government regulate effectively. Sadly the steps to get there are complex and a lot of them seem almost insurmountable.

Hoo boy is Cuba gonna get bombed over this one ..

People seem to forget that he was also a mediocre soldier and a conman who ran a charity for veterans that just outright stole the money it raised.

Basic materials like glass and metal sure, but is also true for complex things like E-Waste and machines, for chemicals or oils, or for things made from toxic or dangerous substances like asbestos.

The scam remains though, glass and aluminium are particularly recyclable, but a lot of the time it is still pushed to the consumer and local government to deal with cleaning it up.

There's been a few scandals where waste planned for recycling just gets shipped to the third world countries and dumped.

But also, recycling is a scam because its been pushed onto the consumer by industry where industry should be dealing with the full life cycle of their product design choices.

Industry ~~bribes~~lobbies federal government against regulations that would require them to either make better material choices in design or clean up their mess. Instead they push for policies that require the consumer to foot the bill and local government to attempt to clean up the mess.

Consumers aren't in a position to ~~bribe~~lobby federal government. Local government isn't equipped to clean up the mess properly so they ultimately rely on industry who gets to charge the local government to clean up the mess created by industry and then only pretend to clean it up rather than actually clean it up.

Not as revolting as Britain .. all their rivers are poo ..

Look, you can watch tv when you get your toddler brain .. and then only 30 mins a day, also I don't think it's nice to call the Trumps that ..

Yeah but the baby's don't go away because the adults CBF, kinda how we got into this mess ..

Sadly telling someone with baby brain that they are stupid and have a baby brain isn't going to help them change. Baby's don't learn like that. We need to sing them songs and make learning fun until they have a leap and want to learn more all by themselves. Also cutting their screen time to zero until their brains develop well into toddler brain is supposed to be super beneficial.
