  • they skim off the floating oil in trash and sewers

    There is not a meaningful amount of oil in random sewers.

    Resturaunt grease traps are often located under sidewalks. It gets sold to companies that refine it for industrial uses, but some restaurants were buying that refined product for food. It makes absolutely no sense to put your grease into the grease trap, and then take it back out to reuse it when you could just not change your oil in the first place.

    There was a backlash, it probably doesn’t happen anymore.

    Chinese food is healthier than US food simply because there’s more veggies.

    As far as the other stuff goes, I haven’t seen situations where those would be possible, but I understand things were very different 10 years ago.








  • Yall need to learn some history.

    The liberal SDP split with the communists, supporting “centrist” Hindenburg in the name of unity.

    The communists campaigned on “A vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler is a vote for war”

    Hindenburg won the election, getting more votes than either the communist or fascist candidates.

    Hindenburg, the liberal candidate, then proceeded to make Hitler the chancellor and staff positions of power with nazis while purging the government of communists.

    The nazis then barely had to do anything to assert complete control.

    The nazis didn’t get in power because communists stayed home, they got into power because the liberals would rather work with fascists than communists.

    ending NATO

    But an end to NATO would be an unambiguously good thing. It has literally never fought a defensive war in its history and the places its invaded and bombed are still hurting decades later.

    withdrawing from the UN.

    A UN where the US couldn’t veto a hundred demands for peace in Palestine, backed by threat of sanctions is also an unambiguously good thing.

    If I genuinely believed Trump would bring about a peaceful dismantling of the American Empire, I’d have to campaign for him.
