Did you forget the /sarc addendum? People have been stealing copper for decades from power lines. Some of the stories are funny where the perp is electrocuted cutting the wire.
Those prices quoted are no where near real life at a scrap yard. MAYBE wires will get about $3 a pound but probably not even $2 because a scrap yard will NEVER pay the advertised price. Recycling metal for me (fab and machine shop) costs more than it is worth by the time I drive it out to the scrap yard. It all goes in the trash.
That being said... Liberal utopias are fun to watch crash down. It is sad though, it destroys so much.
Oh what your moronic libtards have wrought!
