I understand and support your hesitation while disagreeing with the reasoning. Waste Management IS difficult, but it’s also a process that we as a society have pretty well figured out. It’s a pretty great example of why a libertarian approach doesn’t work. Since the libertarian credo is basically “fuck you, I got mine” things that no one wants to deal with like safe and effective waste management turn into burn pits and hazardous dump sites.
So even back in the early 90s when I dabbled in Libertarianism, people had a more nuanced take here, in that shared resources like water and air that crossed land boundaries would be protected by law. For instance you could do a class action lawsuit against the person damaging your air and water. But no one is that nuanced now.
What country are you from btw? I wrote a whole paper on waste management as a Big Problem that the world faces and I just find it hard to believe that we just some how have a magical solution is rampant consumerism and consumption, not to mention ewaste.
Do we have stuff on paper? Yeah of course, but implemented effectively and consistently? Not so sure. Some pretty big fucking rats out here and they aren’t getting that size from hitting the gym. I’ll tell you that much.
I mean there is more to the story, essentially if you’ve seen wild wild country they did that where they become the majority then decided against public works
Waste management is a very difficult problem that the entire globe struggles with to be fair.
Not exactly the best example of why libertarians are doomed to fail but you’ve got the spirit

I would kill for that ability man.
Everything is so complex
We have figured it out?
