    I think the link between recycling and climate change is a lot smaller than people think but there are profit motives for both green heads and corporate plastic to play to that idea

    I don't see it as "saving the planet" I see it as being more efficient with your local economic resources which is a mentality that can lower pollution so it's like an indirect relationship

    That is a common propaganda lie told by privatization corporations to motivate privatization.

    It is physically impossible for a private entity to do something for cheaper than a municipal entity

    on the other hand private companies aren't compelled (or at least, are compelled to a lesser extent) to operate under endless layers of bureaucracy

    It is physically impossible to recycle in the manner it is undertaken in today where it is economical in relation to resource usage.

    The cost/benefit ratio is in the negatives

    That's how they're able to make the figures appealing. Exactly what they're doing to the USPS in an effort to privatized it.

    I eat a tablespoon full of micro plastics I bought from some chink on the dark web once a day in the morning to build up tolerance and resistance to it.

    Over here in Commie Canada, ALL businesses are willingly subservient to the whims of the government, like little puppies licking the boots of their masters while they perform their trained little tricks. It's so pathetic it's almost comical. They'll even close their businesses for years when the government tells them they have to.

    the layers of bureaucracy is cause by the need to be held accountable for everything on every level.

    Why is anyone surprised.

    I thought the American populace expected corporations and politicians to lie to them.

    That story makes no sense. It's supposed to go to a waste management facility. They do the recycling. But what actually happens is it doesn't go to a waste management facility. It goes directly into the dump, or it's shipped to China, where they actually do recycle most of it.
