wow, wweek was never super left leaning, but I didn't expect them to take such a hard right turn in the past few years.
Today they have an article that argues #Portland should abolish the bottle deposit bill because it's a way for poor people and those suffering from drug addiction to get money. The article is very concerned that a drug addict may be able to get $5 a day by recycling.
@rose how much do we need to raise the deposit on glass bottles to get people to stop breaking them on the bike lanes? I'm not sure they took a right turn, just seems like doubling down on the same old broken system of thought and maybe more pressure has revealed more cracks.
@enobacon They should raise the deposit to like $1. It would cost people more to waste them like that and actually make the effort of recycling them appropriately more common.
