MAGA Morons for America is a powerful voting group. They are all voting for Trump.

Those in the know say we need to separate garbage and put certain parts in this bin and certain parts in this bin. Now they say Methane from grass bin, the cardboard bin, etc are now making climate worse.

If it goes in a grass bin, or a cardboard bin, or in a bin with everything else unsorted, it’s going to emit methane if it ends up in a landfill. The bins - or the sorting - aren’t the problem in that case.

Cardboard, at least, stands a fair chance at being kept out of the landfill and diverted to recycling if we use cardboard-specific bins, but we’re not too good at doing that. That’s a bit of a shame because it’s the most economically viable common waste candidate for recycling.

Thanks, canpakes.

I've lived in South East Idaho and in Los Angeles and Orange County. How they deal with trash disposal is very interesting.

in the area of Idaho I lived in, the people contracted with different disposel services. You could see different bins out in front of the houses during weekdays. The red ones were out on Wednesday, some on other days but ours was blue and on Fridays. We had the best. Most of the time you could hear the big trucks at 5:00 AM in front of our house. But everything was put in the same bin. There was no mandate to separate it. Also, I had a big steel fire bin in the back yard. I loved cutting up UPS, Ebay and Amazon boxes and then burning them in the bin.

Also they had pits in the area for dry branches and such. Rexburg had a disposable site for just about everything that was located north of their airport. First you stopped temporarily on a scale and then they looked at the weight of the truck, then you backed your truck into a large warehouse type things, pushed everything out of the bed on to the floor and the guys in big tractors just pushed it into a big 8 X 50 foot cement pit which was about 15 feet deep; that stuff was pushed onto open trailers on big trucks, who just took it west about 40 miles to a huge pit and dumped it. Three vehicles at a time. Many times as I was backing up there was a trash truck backing up next to me but they just use their hydraulic system to empty it on the floor. They you stopped on the scale, they read the weight of the truck and you drove off. It was really cheep in Idaho.

In Souther California it's separation. They have a blue bin for recyclables, but we save soda cans and plastics like gatorade bottle in another blue bin and take them to the recycling center every couple months. Green bins are for grass and old plants. Grey is for everything if you don't want to separate it. I've just moved back so I'm learning what has changed over the last decade. Our cardboard is for the blue bin. There are different trash trucks for different color trash bins.

I think where you live and the populations local needs is important to considered these days. It will likely change in 20 years as new issues need to be resolved. My fear is that Washington D.C or those in Sacramento in California are going to make rules regarding local trash pick up. It's different for every community. The state, county, city that the person lives in needs to be to be factored into the issue.

Suppose that you are Christian Nationalist Joel Webbon and you've got to cover the sticky topic of IVF. It's easy to speak of capitol punishment for gays when Donald Trump's government is fully realized, but how do you talk about a sin like IVF that's as deeply entrenched in Christianity as anywhere else? Perhaps such weighty topics require a higher expertise, just to make sure strong yet harsh Biblical words are not perceived as subjective opinion.

Fortunately for Webbon and Right Response ministries, they've got an ally in C. R. Cali of Founders Ministries, who will be today's Christian Nationalist. C. R. Cali is a world-leading expert on abortion and all related procedures such as IVF. Cali has a 4.8 star-rated book about abortion on Amazon:

This world-leading expert on women, family, government, and God appears as a guest on Webbon's show to unravel the thorny subject of IVF:

https://youtu.be/MEmivUe1Q7M?t=477

I've set the start time in the link above to Cali's discussion of IVF. You can go back to the beginning to hear Webbon's introductory remarks. Cali explains that a barren womb is an effect of the fall of Adam. Reversing the "closing of the womb" is a decision made alone by God in his "sovereign providence." Pastor Cali explains that women who seek children through IVF are "not resting in God's sovereignty and committing sinful means to justify the ends." The end in this case is fulfilling the commandment to go forth and multiply.

In contrast to IVF, adoption is a perfectly Christian means to fulfill the command to multiply. Pastor Webbon reveals that he himself was adopted. As Cali expounds the Word of God, Webbon also interjects with an important Godly insight, pressing the point that insisting on children in our own image becomes an "idolotry of children" of sorts. We already know that Webbon believes abortion is a capitol sin. I admit I did not watch the entire podcast as I suspect these two gifted gentlemen in all things women will dance around the topic such that they don't flat out say to millions of Christians that they should be stoned to death for murder.

Given the area of Pastor Cali's specialization, I think it's appropriate to also announce our next junkyard dog today rather than wait, in order to share the spotlight. And so today's junkyard dog is none other than Megyn Kelly. I considered Kelly as a candidate back when a forum member was easily taken in by her bigotry towards female secret service agents. On that show, a right-wing subject-matter expert was brought in who interestingly, flatly contradicted Kelly's bigoted observations, and set the record straight saying that he spent his career working with women who were every bit as competent as the men he worked with. I let it go because, meh. But now it's looking like we have a theme. Just as you'd call up Clarence Thomas if you want to talk down to blacks, apparently, you call Megyn Kelly if you need to trash women. I'm sure many if not all perusing this forum are aware of Kelly's unhinged interview of J. D. Vance, the man of the couch who castigates "cat ladies" without children.

They hit all the right-wing talking points and Vance grows in stature as the future Christian Nationalist VP to Trump. What's interesting to me is, that while it turns out Kelly is part of the right-wing club, having three children, per Wikipedia, "They have three children.[124][125][126] All three children were conceived through in vitro fertilization."

Ahh. Did they talk about that at all?

Vance voted against the Right to IVF Act after Trump brought down (per Trump) Roe vs. Wade. Vance is a convert to the Catholic Church, whose official dogma prohibits IVF, and you can rest assured that when we get up to project 2035, IVF will be a prison sentence if not stoning, just like abortion. This is just another example that shows the junkyard dogs won't have a place when Christian Nationalists take over. For Kelly, IVF is the very beginning of her problems. The fact that she's a wealthy female podcaster will be the main no-no in that world.
