China Bans U.S. Electronic Scrap
ReverseC writes "Think twice before you throw that those computer parts in the garbage. Do you really know where it's going? The Guardian reports China has banned US's electronic junk." We did a previous story about the U.S. dumping electronic scrap in China.
You might as well mod me down as a troll right now, but who cares, I've got plenty of karma :)
I'm not gonna feel sorry for them because their nation is ran by idiots
Yet you expect the rest of the world to feel sorry for you because your nation is run by idiots (and corrupt buisnesses)
Why yes, yes I do.
If I put it in the trash it goes to a dump.
If I take it to a recycle center it is more likely to be shipped to China.
This is generally why I don't recycle anything. The whole recycling craze instituted a couple years back doesn't help anyone but America's enemies. While the American enviromentalists handicap American businesses by bullying the government to protect "the enviroment", our enemies like China, are allowed to freely develop an industry which will soon rival the entire western world. China can do this because they don't have any of these enviromentalists that pressure the government to sign horrible initiatives like the Kyoto treaty (way to go Bush!), or give them incredibly high minimum wages, allowing them the economic freedom to protest in the first place. It's just insane.
