    Why would a city go through all the logistics of running a green cart collection just to toss it on the same pile of trash? Some loads may be too contaminated to be composted but the vast majority of cities collecting organics seperately will turn it into compost. Your city’s website likely has more details about how their landfill and collections operate.

    The meme used a shitty comparison. The green bin program is one of the most effective and effecient waste reduction strategies. It reduces the distances garbage may have to travel, it reduces methane gas production, it reduces landfill use which extends landfill lifespans, and it creates clean enough compost to be used locally for decorative gardens and lawns.

    Using something like don’t buy that product, the government says its bad, meanwhile the government failing to regulate said product would have maybe been a better comparison.

    Any tool can be misused. I’d be curious what the percentage of wrong use cases of MRAPs is. There is a massive accountability issue with America’s policing. We need to address the accountability issues, not just take all their tools away.

    When a tradesman fucks up a job do you blame the tools they used or the company they work for?

    Civilians in america can also buy several fully automatic and semiautomatic weapons in a large caliber. I usually see police using MRAPs as deployable cover during barricaded suspect situations. Most of the time they don’t just show up and drive it through the building guns blazing, they use it as cover while giving commands, often holding down the area until the barricaded suspect gives up or a SWAT team can enter and try to arrest. Typically they attempt to use non lethal methods like flashbangs and bean bags unless the suspect becomes lethally violent like charging at officers with a knife or a rifle.
