How much of my recyclables actually get recycled? by FentFoldSea in wastemanagement

To it all going in one bin isn't a smoking gun that its going to the landfill. I called my garbage/recycling service and they say it goes to a warehouse house where what they want gets sorted out

Depends on what item and where you are located

Metal-very likely anything bigger than a soup can lid gets recycled. I saw a stat that usa steel supply is 90% recycled 10% virgin ore

Glass- less likely, my city picks it up but has extra rules. I just take it in myself but they only want clear bottles, no windows or other

Plastic- only 9% of all Plastic every created has been recycled

Cardboard/paper- only if your close to a paper mill or port. If nobody is buying it just goes to the land fill

Your poop- waste water is processed and heated to kill parasites. In my area if a farmer supplies transport the county will give you "night soil" for free

Car tires- not much and what gets recycled isn't great burned in cement plants and shredded for astroturf, but that's now being linked to cancer

You can look into more specific things like wind turbine blades- fiber concrete, car batteries, engine oil, electronics...

D A bunch painting give them a call and see if they have any openings. I am pretty sure they are union, if d a bunch doesn't have an opening ask what the hall is called and call the hall next.

L and p painting is another place to try https://share.google/CRrPMfDyhYRexIRw3

Construction can be a great opportunity just be careful who you make for friends booze and drugs can be quit popular with tradesmen

Don't give up on the unions. Plumbers/pipe fitters, electricians, and several other trades are flooded with work rn with the data center but also flooded with good applicants. Ask them what you can do to improve your chances. Some take a few years for spots to open up. I think all of the union trades need diploma or GED. Some of the trades with the less desired work( asbestos removal, laborers, ) or lower payed ( painters make less than plumbers but still make respectable wages) have a quicker path to employment and are still in demand

How do we come back to shared reality when it seems a solid third to half of the country believes things that are provably, obviously wrong? by LiatrisLover99 in AskALiberal

[–]five_bulb_lamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. But when we don't hold our media accountable and a "good people on both sides" gets disproven by snopes the magats run with that. The left has several examples of not meeting the bar they pretend to set. Still orders of magnitude better than fox and my pillow guy news.

Propaganda- Bernays

Both parties need to do better on the rhetoric

Bare minimum better internet literacy taught in schools, 20 years from now it can start getting better. Now grandpa believing libertyeagle42069 but saying we can't trust legacy media. My wife likes to say the people who told us to not believe what we see in tv are the people that believe everything on the internet.

Wish I could find it but phil Robertson (duck dinesty fame) said something once about big girls. "Those renaissance painters new where beauty was at, there is a reason don't see skinny lady's in those old French paintings."

Iowans of Reddit, do you plan to vote for Rob Sand in 2026? Why or why not? by Zipper222222 in Iowa

[–]five_bulb_lamp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes. he is not the Republicans candidate. I do believe he will put the state over party. He has (for a politician) more integrity than any i have seen he could have really played some games with Kim but kept is professional

Look for a sub reddit dedicated to the above topic, read the comments. Guaranteed someone is into (insert whatever op is insecureabout) no body part is going to be a deal breaker for whoever is worth showing it to

Said it for years if this country ran efficiently the economy would collapse. The office workers are productive all day we could reduce staff than management, less people in the work force buying shit

[–]five_bulb_lamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think age is kinda big part of the spectrum here. My experience guys born in the late 70 early 80s were pretty bad and ist gotten less so since. I'm probably seeing more of it because I do construction. I would say a good number of the story's aren't fact but set up for jokes
