WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Nov 30, 2020

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Millions of Americans are still forced to separate their garbage

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>from their recyclables, but more and more cities are now

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:10.160
<v Speaker 1>sending all the garbage and one big pile little landfill.

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>After fifty years of lecturing us and pressuring us and

0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:19.800
<v Speaker 1>demanding that we recycle everything to save the earth, cities

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 1>are trashing their recycling programs because they're too expensive. One

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:27.120
<v Speaker 1>reason is the chi Coms. The chi Coms used to

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>buy all of our recycled stuff, but they got tired

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>of all the garbage that was mixed in, so in

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:38.600
<v Speaker 1>January eighteen, they stopped importing our junk. Another reason recycling

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>programs are biting to dust they never made financial sense.

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:46.479
<v Speaker 1>Big trash haulers used recycling as a loss leader to

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:50.159
<v Speaker 1>snag the accounts they really wanted carting everyday trash from

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>residences and industries. But now they're raising prices like corporations

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 1>used to pretend they believed in global warming because they

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>knew their customers did, but they never did. Now, without

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>China's money and with haulers charging more, recycling has become

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 1>a luxury cities cannot pay for. When cities were pushing

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.399
<v Speaker 1>recycling as a sure way to save the earth. They

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.960
<v Speaker 1>said we couldn't afford not to do it. Now those

0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 1>same people say we can't afford to do it, so

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>audios recycling. But it doesn't matter because, according to Alexandria

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Ocasio Cortez, we only have twelve years to live anyway,

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>So trash it all, folks, is not gonna matter in

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>twelve years. Live it up.
