Recycle or Else? Big Brother to Pick Through Trash

As part of a $2.5 million waste-collection system, the city plans to give residents high-tech trash carts embedded with RFID (radio frequency identification) tags that monitor how much they recycle.

If Clevelanders don't recycle enough of their garbage, the city now has the power to issue $100 fines.

We're going to run reports on who this particular truck picked up from today and if it indicates on a consistent basis that your household hasn't been recycling, then we have officers that I will send out … to check and see what's going on."

Ahh finally catching up with Europe.

It's all part of their coming Global Warming Gestapos. They're already doing this in Great Britain and other parts of Western Europe. I predicted this stuff was coming here and many just ridiculed me and claimed it would never happen here. Well here it is. The Socialists/Progressives have many other plans like this in the works. This is only the beginning. People better get motivated and vote all Socialists/Progressives out of office. Their Freedom & Liberty really is under assault and sitting on the couch munching potato chips ain't gonna save them. People need to get active and get out and vote. It's time to show the Socialists/Progressives the door. I hope people understand this before it's too late.

Global warming heck, it is good business sense.
Recycling uses less natural resources.
Fills up landfille less.

I wish they had deposits on all throw away containers.
If you did not recycle them someone would.

Socialism never works. I think more & more Americans are finally waking up to this reality. Less Government is the answer. The Government always over-steps and abuses its power. I don't want a Government that punishes its people for not following their particular political agenda. Recycling is fine but don't invade people's privacy and fine them. This is not how i want my Government behaving. Our Government is supposed to serve the people not punish them. Our Government has lost its way. This is not what our Founding Fathers wanted. The Socialists/Progressives gotta go. Nuff said.

what exactly is wrong with re-cycling? Or are you so blindly bigoted and ignorant that you can't see the benefits? Recycling in Europe has fuck all to do with left or right politics. It is supported by ALL political parties, and rightly so. But to ignoramuses like you everything comes down to left and right. What a dumbfuck you are!

Bigoted? Do you even know what the word means? Now if you aren't in favor of recycling you're a bigot?

BTW... I am totally in favor of recycling.

OMG people, get a grip is right.

No you're the one who is blindly ignorant. I didn't say that recycling was wrong. I said that invading the people's privacy and punishing them with fines is wrong. See that's the problem with you Socialist/Progressive mutants. You only hear what you want to hear. If you want to recycle,then so be it. Just don't invade the people's privacy and force them to recycle by threatening fines. That just isn't right. People like you are very scary. You're just an ignorant Goose Stepper in my opinion. Our Government should serve the people not punish them. More & more people now fear our Government. That's definitely not what our Founding Fathers intended. You Socialists/Progressives are just wrong. It's time to show you guys the door. I just hope & pray this begins this year. So enjoy your Goose Stepping. Hopefully your time is up.

Don't think we need garbage police.... which BTW, NYC has.

Read the post again!!! The person it is addressed to is a politicised bigot. Engage brain before opening cakehole! And yes, I do know what the word means you arrogant twat!

 

[LibocalypseNow]

And all the Goose Steppers rejoice over the Government taking more of their rights away. Man,so many Americans continue to be stuck on stupid. It's not about whether recycling is right or wrong. It's about something so much more important. It's about your Freedom & Liberty. The Socialists/Progressives are just wrong on this stuff. Wake up America! SHEESH!

Please google search the definition of ignorance. That way you won't look foolish in the future, not knowing what it means, as you did here. Helpful hint: ignorance is the opposite of researched facts and links that prove a point.

No one's taking rights away.

How do you expect a city to pay for recycling and garbage separation if the idiot people don't know how to do it?

Someone's got to be hired to separate the stuff that's dumped all together by right wingers who don't give a shit about the earth and the environment. Fining the jerks who don't recycle is the perfect answer. Let them pay to hire the people to do it for them if they are too lazy or stupid to do it themselves.

I guess you'd prefer debt spending, like most republicans do (see Reagan's tripling of the national debt and Bush's doubling of it).
