    Just run a parallel pot delivery service with the vans. Don't tell Amazon.

    It's insane on its face. Nobody that signs up will be 'strictly complying' with the contract terms. Especially once Amazon sets up many of these services in all metro areas and starts making them bid on the deliveries.

    Haven't heard a better suggestion. Burning plastic is better than burying it. You get most of the fuel value of the feedstock back.

    Violence has solved a lot of problems in history.

    Truisms are useless.

    'All political power comes from the barrel of a gun.' Do you know who said that? (He knew.)

    If violence hasn't solved your problem, you just haven't used enough of it. Might not be an optimal solution, but the problem will be solved (e.g. urban blight in 'A Boy and His Dog').

    Your supposed to wash the trash then find the recycle number stamped on the plastic and put it in a separate bin, by #.

    Anything less is THEATER, as you say, just chuck it in the trash, where it's going to end up.

    Different plastics are often glued together. Just as part of packaging. The RFID fucks things up. etc etc.

    So what, just an engineering problem...Now you've got an uneconomical, knife wielding, breath detecting autonomous AI robot that's supposed to split plastic junk by chemistry, until it can't cover it's own maintenance...somebody call Michael Bay.

    Recycling plastic is a SOLVED problem. Burn it hot (with gas), for fuel value, generate electricity, use the waste heat. Make new plastic from oil. That solution will work until oil is much more expensive, then we switch to plant based plastic.

    A good rule of thumb for US (both federal and state) government projects it 3x the initial projected cost.

    That's what happens when someone is spending other people's money. The power aspect is the only concern, money is power, they like power, so they spend like it's free.

    Legality 'ship has sailed' in the USA.

    This does setup a DEA vs FDA pissing contest. All pot is still illegal per the DEA, but they can't find juries to convict and the last people that care are on the verge of death from old age.

    To say nothing of the old folks that now use legal pot for their aches and pains, many of them are realizing they were lied to.

    There are many high CBD low THC strains that aren't 'owned'. There is one that has passed FDA review. They all remain theoretically illegal, but are in fact 'conviction rate bombs' for DAs (who have run like frenchmen, as a group).

    I agree, _never_ accept counters.

    Not only should they have paid you, before, but consider the two options after: 1. Your a new employee, with a nice high basis for all future raises. or 2. Your a disloyal old employee, who just 'extorted' a huge raise. Who do you think will get better raises and opportunities in the future?

    I once accepted a counter, just don't do it. NEVER, not for twice the money.
