Liberal politicians will gloat until they have to repair all the sewer mains clogged with the food that used to go in the trash that now went into the disposal.
Oh, man. I just LOVE this stuff. Shaming people into composting - when I’ve been doing it for 30 years! Cooking from scratch - when I can’t remember a meal I’ve eaten at home that wasn’t. Growing your own, canning, hunting, fishing. How anyone can live differently has always amazed me.
while I AM a serious ‘Conserve’-a-tive, the Food Nazi’s ALWAYS go too far...
I really have to laugh at “progressive cities” revelations about such things like this. We’ve been doing this for 40 years. All food waste goes in the compost, gets ground up and then into the garden again. It’s funny when “progressives” discover this. I wonder what they have been doing all these years? Smoking too much pot? Spaced out? Not very progressive
Translation: They want us to live an 18th Century Eastern European peasant lifestyle while they throw Wagyu beef, lobster and arugula down their necks, crank the air conditioning in their 4,000 square foot homes and drive Lexus and Audi SUVs.
In my life, most of my waste is delivered in the mail.
What do apartment dwellers do, since they can’t compost in their yards?
This is the price of socialism.
From garbage pick up to landfills these services should be private enterprise.
When I was a kid our garbage was picked up by a man who had a small pig farm.
We separated our garbage from our other waste and for a small price the farmer picked up the garbage and fed it to his pigs.
One man’s waste is another man’s pig fodder.
Given freedom of action creative people can turn problems in to marketable goods and profits.
Progressives, on the other hand, compost it because if makes them feel superior to those that do not. Then they want to force composting on people, and in the process develop a government bureaucracy and levy taxes. Progressives read and write propaganda related to composting.

You got to laugh, only a liberal would wear this on
their sleeve like a patch of honor.
The garbage disposal solves the ticket on the garbage can problem!!!!
Seattle sanitation workers, the new arbiters of fine cuisine.
What next? Oh I know: Garbage cans on their own electric burners so we can cook in them — all those yummy leftovers in mouthwatering stews, right there at the ends of our driveways. I am going to propose mandatory linen napkins at the next Seattle City Council meeting.
The weird thing is about ten years ago the land fills were complaining that people WEREN’T throwing enough organic, biodegradable material into their trash, that the prevalence of garbage disposals meant people just pitched non-biodegradable stuff in their trash. The complaint was that the organic material helped break down the non-biodegradable material faster, so the land fills needed it to be there in a certain percentage. You know, kind of like a compost does. Now, they’re saying don’t put it in?
Try that in NY, NJ or PA. Your entire neighborhood will be overrun with black bears within a month.

A red sticker??
I’d have to beat them to the punch and paint the whole darn can red first.
