BrianSoddingBoru4 Wrote:You said the fire wouldn’t have happened if there were no regulations on plastics recycling.Please try to understand it: regulation is different from a subsidy. Subsidy is trying to make something more profitable, regulation usually (if not always) makes something less profitable.
BrianSoddingBoru4 Wrote:Should food regulations be abolished?Well, there is some sensible regulation. Probably any regulation that reduces the massive use of antibiotics in the egg industry is a sensible regulation. However, most regulation is not like that, and most regulation should be abolished.
BrianSoddingBoru4 Wrote:Can you provide a list of plastic recycling plants that have caught fire?Well, no, but I assume that's common. The only plastic recycling plant that I know about (the one in Brijest) has caught fire. Not only once, but three times in the past 10 years: now, in 2015 and in 2016. https://sib.net.hr/vijesti/osijek/439239...16-godine/
-There ARE private companies doing that. Globally, private recycling is a $50 billion industry.
-Don't try to shoehorn in subsidies. You said 'regulation' more than once. And you seem to be having trouble keeping your fantasies straight. You said earlier that it is government regulation that allows plastic recycling to be profitable.
-Eggs again. Haven't you had enough of Nudger beating you up about this?
-That sounds like a problem with the plant.
