Our current complex devices are difficult to recycle, yet contain gold, silver and other reusable materials. Most of them are shipped to Guiyu, China where improvised people with primitive techniques earning about $8 a day take them apart. Of these workers 88% suffer from neurological, respiratory or digestive disorders. Miscarriage rates are six times greater than normal. But if the infant survives, they face stunted brain and nervous system development. Greenpeace found over ten heavy and poisonous metals in the air and water. Rice grown in local waters is labeled with a different origin to protect producers while freely poisoning consumers. Yet the originators and trans shippers of this e-waste sometimes receive tax breaks from Obama as green recycling enterprises. This answer to e-waste reuse is the globalist solution.
But only by acting like Americans can we solve America’s problems. Traditionally, we don’t have problems, just challenges. Itonics, Inc of nearby Reno has developed a furnace process of freeing valuable metals from circuit boards while utilizing the waste heat as the furnace’s energy source making the entire process energy neutral. That is an American solution. A similar furnace technology was developed in the UK by Veena Sahajwalla. Reflecting on her name, I couldn’t help but think of The Kinks hit song “Living on a Thin Line (There is no England now)” as a metaphor for where we were headed under Obama.
It may seem contradictory or ironic that environmental groups are alarmed by Guiyu pollution and also promoting globalism/the new world order which includes deindustrialization. That also includes losing our industrial mojo. But I find having problems with our historic solution mechanisms being simultaneously threatened to be the muddled mindset desired by the globalists and their environmental follow travelers. That is their objective: to destroy grit/self reliance, initiative and freedom and return us to serfdom. When you are convinced that the problem and the solution are the same bad thing you are ready to believe anything.
I have warned readers of this blog several times about evil Elizabeth Warren. Her Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was recently ruled by the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia as unconstitutionally structured. The court also said that the CFPB violated due process and the statute of limitations and used its own unique interpretation of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. Apparently it’s progressive to take the law into your own hands.
My recent trip to Chicago reminded me of the powerful vote with our dollar concept along with the free enterprise system. Most of you have probably also seen this, but I observed an apex being reached this trip. Once upon a time the clever airlines decided to charge, usually about $25, for checked luggage. Flyers responded with more carry-on bags and the luggage manufactures created a max suitcase for the overhead bins. These sold until almost every passenger had one. The airlines now have more carry-ons than fit overhead, so they are forced to check it for free. This trip almost all luggage avoided the fee. Freedom works!
Your info on recycling is lost in your uninformed rant against an imaginary enemy.
