Well... no, not really. We have toxic waste dumps out of necessity because we don't want to pollute our environment. The largest source of toxic waste is medical waste. Do you think we should stop treating medical patients and close the hospitals? What are they supposed to do with their toxic waste? Other sources come from manufacturing things like computers and electronic circuitry. You want to give up computers and electronics? How about steel making or the automotive industry? You want to give those up too? Because... IF we're going to have those things and IF we are going to also have an EPA to keep us safe from toxins... then we MUST have toxic waste dumps. Unfortunately, there is no Toxic Waste Fairy.
Guy, you miss my point. I'm all for dumping Toxic Waste in the South. You people fucking deserve it.
Of course, we COULD AND SHOULD properly dispose of that waste through recycling, but dumping it next to Cleetus and Billy-bob and all the other inbred, bible-thumping rednecks who fly Confederate Flags... that works, too.
Now... Toxic waste dumps are highly regulated by the EPA. Strict guidelines are enforced and facilities are monitored closely to ensure compliance. There is no risk to public health anywhere near a toxic waste facility. There is very little health risk to employees who work at toxic waste facilities when procedures are followed correctly. It is precisely BECAUSE we are a free market capitalist system brimming with ingenuity and technology, that we are capable of efficiently handling our toxic byproducts... unlike places like China and North Korea.
Guy, you just contradicted yourself. You admitted that Toxic waste is relatively safe because of strict government regulations, and then praised the free market- you know, the guys trying to get rid of government regulation- for it.
Man, you inbreds are stupid.
Racist moron, you cannot recycle all waste.
