The Business Of Trash | CNBC Marathon

[@NFTwizardz]

Great video, i started on a garbage truck and now i operate a transfer station here in Ontario Canada at a local city dump processing recycling materials that we ship out to be sorted. Its nice to see more details of the career choice i have chosen! I love my job and the company i work for pays and takes care of us well!

[@elizabethangeliah4574]

Hi, your job sounds nice. What do you actually? And are you hiring?? Any remote positions?? I'm studying my compTIA+ right now

[@fireprint_incinerator]

Yes, we need a stable job to ensure family expenses, bless you

[@ScrapPalletMan]

As a professional trash picker dumpster diver it's saddens me at the rate we are wasting

[@koilamaoh4238]

should be less if you think about it, as inflation makes people have less things and less wages. Kinda weird for people to create more waste. Even myself, I barely make waste. 4 lbs seems a lot in my opinion a day, it would take me some time to reach that.

[@MirageAfterDark]

This incentive to save because of rising prices is offset by the way our firms and corporations function: making products that intentionally don't last so that we can buy more of them. It won't matter if you do everything you can to stretch your computer for ten years, if the motherboard is built to degrade and fail in five. This is a different type of good than inferior goods, which are goods that give the less fortunate access to something that they otherwise wouldn't have. Having experienced the overall, and very positive, impact that capitalism has brought to our well being as individuals, we are now beginning to see its limits and costs: corporate incentives for actions that have very poor alignment with the needs of the collective society, such as poor waste management.

[@adridell]

@@koilamaoh4238 What matters is purchasing power not inflation. People think they have less purchasing power because they see prices increase from time to time but it does not tell the whole story. In fact gas prices today in the US are those of almost 100 years ago. 1929 gas price in the US = 0.21 $ per US gallon. Adjusted for inflation equals 3.59 $ per US gallon. Current price of gas around 3.4 $ per US gallon. There is a small detail here, the US went from 1 trillion GDP to over 23 trillion GDP over that same period of time. So people have multiplied by roughly 23 times their purchasing power while gas has remained relatively constant in price since then, this is why Americans live literally in a pool of petrol, people do not realise the amount of petrol they consume or is needed to make their everyday life possible, they spend their time looking at prices and believe they are always losing purchasing power, but overall despite recessions and crisis, people are wealthier than ever. They just suffer in the short term and see higher numbers in prices while forgetting other factors and the context.

It's even worse when they deny recycling by locking dumpsters preventing the poor from diving.

[@chow-chihuang4903]

Thank you for this comprehensive compilation of different aspects of waste sources and management. You interviewed many of the most active players in the fields you covered, and I am glad many of them mentioned the best method of managing waste is to change how we consume goods and services, reducing or eliminating it at the source. I’d like you to put out another report on this aspect, including what is sometimes called extended producer responsibility schemes which incentivize/punish manufacturers on what materials they put out and also helps pay for recovery, recycling and disposal (waste-to-energy, landfill). Regarding the point about Sweden “overbuilding” waste-to-energy (WTE) capacity, I think it was intentional. They emptied their landfills in roughly a decade (typically reduces volume by 90%, sometimes more) and now import waste from other countries as a source of income and energy. While not optimal, it is better than simply landfilling or open-air burning, which occurs way too often, whether on purpose or by accident. A higher-temperature version, sometimes called plasma waste conversion, is also useful for destroying toxic compounds as they rip molecules apart by converting them into plasma. It doesn’t eliminate elemental toxins, which have to be captured and bound into inert compounds, and can lead to formation of dioxins like other forms of incineration, but there are established means to capture and contain those. It’s the least profitable method of incineration, but I consider it a form of waste management and hazardous material destruction rather than energy production.

[@Dudeguymansir]

I live near the Sauget, IL incinerator. They’re one of the only facilities capable of destroying firefighting foam. I don’t trust their emissions control and reporting…

[@leojack9090]

Inflation can have a significant impact on individuals and their cost of living. As a result, it can cause negative market sentiment. It is important for individuals and businesses to find ways to navigate and potentially mitigate the effects of inflation on their finances. The current economic climate, including underperformance of financial markets due to fear of inflation, has led to a decrease in the value of my portfolio. I would appreciate any recommendations on how to potentially increase returns during this market downturn.
