    I just throw my electronic waste in the dumpster with the rest of the garbage. To hec with Waste Management. I’m considering cancelling my dumpster service and just throwing my trash on the side of City Ranch Road.

    Seriously something has to change

      Well…yeah…and frankly the something is you. Your postings indicate that you are absolutely unwilling to accept the social covenants that (barely) allow for seven billion people to exist on this small planet. Since I am not in favor of going back to the every man for himself societies you fit with, which would require killing about five billion people to be sustainable, you need to leave the golden age of pirates behind and grow up.

        You ask too much, Tim Scott.

        I’m constanlty amazed at how intractable millions of Americans are in the current environment.

        Former loser president Trump tapped into that for the last 5 years. I marvel at how descriptions of Putin mimic those of Trump. Putin has outbursts of anger and the people around him can’t present him (or Trump for that matter) with facts he doesn’t like.

        Same with supporters of Trump. Facts Don’t Matter. FDM

        Both are desperate men unwilling to deal reality at it is. At least in Russia, the people are protesting Putin’s misguided war in Ukaine.

        In this country, we have Trump and people who support him also unwilling to deal in facts. They have Fox ‘news’ using this simply for ratings and the money they bring.

        We should sanction Fox and its variant like we are doing with Putin. Boycott its sponsors which is already being done to some extent. Fox backed off its phony Durham story when they heard Hillary say the word “malice” which can be used in court when suing for defamation.

        Currenlty, Fox is being sued by Dominion for and I hope they win a huge billion-dollar settlement. But we’ll see.

        As for FWB, it’s hopeless. He’d complain if they hanged him with a new rope as the saying goes. I wonder what the people around him think if he talks the same way as he does here.
