  • Mostly right except for aluminum and maybe PET #1 plastics. Glass should be washed and the bottles reused. It would be informative to the average person if it said “plastic, not recyclable “ so that people know for everything except PET.

    What makes aluminum cans so unique is that they are often recycled back into themselves, containing nearly 70% recycled material. That is 3 times more than plastic or glass. This translates into the can’s leaving a good environmental footprint. It also has a high value for re-selling, making recycling programs possible. Scrap aluminum gets $1367 per ton, as compared to plastic that only gets $310, and glass actually gets $0 per ton. Cans are also getting lighter, while continuing to stay durable. This leads to better efficiency for shipping, and eventually less waste.


  • I own a tesla model y and am already looking at replacing it. Vandalizing my car won’t help me replace it. I am also never going to buy another tesla again. I would have loved a Rivian but their suv was 15k more without the super charging network.

    The Elon Nazi salute didn’t happen until January 20th so 99% of tesla owners didn’t know he was a nazi when purchasing their cars.

    Considering almost all car companies were caught up in the emissions scandals, I am pretty sure most people vandalizing other people’s cars, own a car from a car company that destroyed the environment for profits. It isn’t that easy to avoid companies that do shitty things.

    Not advocating vandalism but tesla dealerships and showrooms make more sense as a target than individual owners.





  • They are going to have the same problem they had with their original phones. No apps. They could never get enough developers to care about the OS without a user base. You also can’t get a user base without apps. That’s what killed the windows phone.
    Amazon tried to use the kindle formula on a cell phone. The problem is that the main reason the kindle was successful was there was no real competition. They also only need to provide books not apps for the kindle. The cellphone market was a lot more mature with a ton of options. They came in with a mediocre phone that had less apps and less configurability. They tried to do the Apple walled garden on an Android phone. Clearly they didn’t understand their market.
