That video is fucking weird. The major reason for the shitshow of recycling right now is that it got outsourced to China because it became comparatively economically nonviable in the US, and the China said "nevermore" to the health issues being caused by the outsourcing, passed regulations, and now here we are without even the facilities we used to have for recycling because they couldn't compete with unregulated China.

Video mentions you can only recycle plastic twice? Wouldn't that decrease plastic consumption to a third of present consumption? Fucking video for morons.

Yeah I mean I'll give you that, I've lived here my whole life, and the real estate market has always been somewhat of a bubble. Maybe you saw the article that was posted in this sub last week, explaining that most of our housing shortage issues are the result of people owning second homes, or that is at least the highest percentage of vacant homes and apartments.

Yeah I for sure hear you there, I honestly our medical systems are so broken we as a country do need to start at square one there. Like Drs have to be held accountable for what they say, do, and prescribe, also health administration should make less than anyone working the floor. But then again that's my sentiment about all technical jobs that require a decade of study to master.
