I think it’s more like if you are a first responder, the math tells you whomever you are dealing with has a gun. That changes the dynamic entirely.

Yes, but Siri

Given that most recycling ends up in landfills anyway, I’m not sure it matters much. We have a much bigger recycling problem. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/29/climate/recycling-l…

Just to be clear, the government literally does lie to you about what’s in the water. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/flint...
