What A Load Of Rubbish...
Eight billion people in the world generate a lot of municipal garbage. By 2050, the World Bank estimates humans will generate 3.4 billion tonnes of global waste.
That’s enough to line up garbage trucks from the Earth to the Moon and back - several times over.

What Fills the World’s Trash Bins
Food and green waste accounts for a majority of the world’s garbage (44% of the total).
Paper and cardboard (17%) https://www.visualcapitalist.com/how-much-plastic-gets-recycled/
(12%) are the next two major categories of waste.

There’s a positive correlation between income and waste generation. High-income countries account for only 16% of the world’s population but more than one-third of the waste generated.
However, it’s the middle- and low-income countries that will lead to more waste generation by 2050, particularly in Asia and Africa.
Why is this?
As the World Bank explains, waste generation scales up as income levels rise.
For high-income countries, per capita waste generation is already peaking, and is expected to grow 19% by 2050.
On the other hand, low- and middle-income countries (where per capita waste is much lower but where incomes are rising quickly) could see their waste generation grow by 40%.
According to the World Bank, global waste is growing at more than twice the rate of the population.

The bulk of it is one time use product packaging. That stuff needs to be completely rethought.
Interesting way to say that you are in support of war.

Abigail Disney: ‘Every billionaire who can’t live on $999m is kind of a sociopath’ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/07/abigail-disney-every-billionaire-who-cant-live-on-999m-is-kind-of-a-sociopath #Thesuper-rich #Lifeandstyle #Republicans #DonaldTrump #USpolitics #Democrats #USnews
Meaningless clickbait headline. What billionaire lives on more than $999m? Most of them live on less than $80k
Mob bosses operate at a profit. But then Trump is doing better things for that than Biden.
Trump knows they won't bc they can't. They need the US economy more than the US economy needs them.
Why should it be OK to destroy peoples personal property but not to protest the government?
Meritocracy is a chimera. What we get is a circus of sycophants and a meme economy of jesters. https://media4.giphy.com/media/S2IfEQqgWc0AH4r6Al/200w.webp?cid=4ea4f8d54djv1cb0lrcpfgb3drnczy66g20ztk4f151atsk8&ep=v1_gifs_search&rid=200w.webp&ct=g

We don't have a meritocracy. What we have is over 50 years of affirmative action.
