I still have a piece of tape over the camera on my laptop. I don't live with my smartphone and have never used the social media. I read a real newspaper and subscribe to several magazines. I'm dead in dog years.
I managed 4 storerooms for a large city. We stocked really nice pigskin leather gloves, batteries, hand tools and brass water meters and parts. I told my employees to charge items to our department if they wanted batteries for a radio, gloves or other items. I know they still stole stuff.. The safety officer told me she would prefer people used safety gear at home so they wouldn't get injured and miss time at work.
The water meters were a real theft problem. Old or obsolete ones were supposed to be returned to the meter shop for repair or saved to be sold as scrap but most were taken by employees to a recycler and the money was kept, hundreds of dollars a week. I gave that info to the purchasing agent for action. People were allow to resign or else be prosecuted.
A friend wanted me to give hm around $200 worth of wrenches. No way Jose.
There were campaigns with TV and print ads to dump unused meds in the toilet. Sewage treatment plants cannot remove pharmaceuticals and other chemicals from wastewater. And do vessels at sea discharge waste into the oceans?
I bought two vehicles using a CR guide that showed how much dealers pay the mfgrs for cars. The guide suggested how much the salesman, manager and dealer should make ( a few hundred to I forget how much) . Bought an F-150 by phone and fax, agreed on the options and price with the fleet sales manager and the truck was built the way I wanted it. It was shipped to the dealer less than two weeks later.
The manufacturers also send money to dealers for meeting sales goals.
My sister has a summer house in a rural area, 8 miles from a small town. People did buy many items that were a good value but the thing I saw most was lower grade beers like Natural Ice from Anhauser-Busch. A lot of 30 Packs of cheap beer being purchased..
Is it ethical to send manufacturing jobs to China? The horse is way out of the barn, not coming back. This has been debated again and again. Search for "made in USA" and try to find something you would like to buy. I used to buy cotton socks from a company in North Carolina using US grown cotton,but the place was bought and all the machinery was shipped to China. Likely bought by a Wall Street firm following cheap labor and lax or few rules or laws around the globe. To Mexico, India, Pakistan, Viet Nam, etc.
School. I learned how to give the correct answer. True- False and multiple choice questions are easy. The true-false gives you the answer , one is correct and I usually did better than 50-50 selecting the right one. On multiple choice there were four options and two were usually obviously wrong, one had a word or phrase that steered me to the right answer.
Essay questions make you think and compose a reply. Harder to fake.
Math is one area that's hard to fake your knowledge. I did OK in Algebra and Geometry with a minimum of study. Trig was too much for me, couldn't understand it.
I thought of e-waste too. The number of places willing to accept the stuff is falling and the valuable stuff like precious metals costs too much to recover. Also, see our plastic oceans.
I am easily amused, like to sprinkle some stupid salt and pepper on my eggs. I wouldn't attempt to jump from the roof of a house into a pool but I'll certainly watch the mayhem when people do it. I also use the remote to mute or change the channel when there are things I don't want to see or hear.
Bud Miller and Coors low flavor beers have a place in the market too. They are OK served cold on a hot day. There are plenty of craft beers here near San Diego but many people can't afford or don't want to pay twelve or fifteen dollars for a six-pack.

Yeah that'll work. Like banning all the international drug trade.

I think the disappearing ink is thermal printed on specially treated paper. Look up the Cheeseburger bird. They're everywhere near my sisters house.
Bonus points for the Csaba Cede reference.
My company uses the same truck, after dumping household garbage it returns to pick-up recycling. A forty mile round trip.

Don't use it either. My wife got the facebook virus via a contact.
