  • Same. I didn’t expect Kamala to lose. I thought it would be close, but even losing the popular vote? I would have thought the Tweeting trauma from his first term would have been enough to stop people from voting. Just constant drama, nonstop national anxiety, plus add in the known quantity that was project 2025… In fact I believed that so much that I put some money on Kamala to win and hedged it with Trump to win, but lose popular vote (which was an insane 2.5x payout)…

    Yeah, maybe Musk did rig the election… But even if he did, way too many people still naturally voted for Trump. 36.5% of people voted him in MA… The most liberal state most people think of. That’s just crazy to me.














  • Eh, it entirely depends on the market. If your near mills or ports, a lot of stuff goes to a MRF (materials recover facility).

    I have visited one and its pretty labor imtensive and gross. I am guessing most employees are undocumented because I can’t imagine others doing the job for the pay. They basically spend all day picking stuff off a constant feed of garbage. It should be all recyclables, but in a lot of streams there is more trash than recyclables.

    If a MRF is near a waste to energy plant, they can get like close to 99% landfill avoidance rates. If not, your essentially making people slave over seperating your recyclables that you could have done (at least before the entire country went single stream)
