As a former regulator, I know better than to let a regulated party "get my goat" and draw me into a pissing match. While I had the power of "you can't fight city hall", the regulated party merely has to create the "appearance of impropriety", not prove impropriety itself.
I've been glared at and - in the case of E-Stewards - directly threatened. "Stop saying bad stuff about us. I don't want to have to go after you." Promise, that was said.
FairTradeRecycling.net was established as a pivot for when the lies and financial incentives of Big Shred, Planned Obsolescence, and Charitable Industrial Complex are exposed.
Threatening us will just fan the flames of perceived targeted injustice. If you place a GPS tracker with one of my clients at one of my sites, it better damn well be clean - that is not a hidden "poison apple". You better put the tracker RANDOMLY on as many CRT TVs as you do laptops, and send the same number of each to every recycler you track. If you dare to put a tracked laptop at my client, and put a tracked CRT TV at your preferred "certified paying" client, expect your name to appear in a college thesis. (Oh, you been there and done that, haven't you?) Or in a lawsuit (ditto?).
When a regulation itself is based on a lie, and the regulation is constantly evolving upwards even as the risk is shown ever declining, the regulators who are smart get into another line of regulation (or leave the regulation business and start their own small business, using their CDL and MBA). That has repercussions when the smartest regulators move to a cooler project, and the less SAT-score regulators remain with the regulatory power.
Everyone knows this, so if there's a problem with me just publicly saying it, then the problem is evidence of itself.
The eighty percent bad exports was a lie. The eighty percent of what's in China and Africa dumps was imported days before was an even bigger and more obvious lie. The racket of billing my company to save people from those risks will fall. I don't know if it will be in 5 years, ten, or 15. But my advice is to get out of it. You are wasted on this.
The International Law Violation was also a black and white letter lie, when Basel Convention Annex IX B1110 explicitly stated what our importing clients were doing was legal and allowed. Calling them "Primitive" was just a bigoted slur, and you got away with that for way too long.
Because the white guy here knew the 80% statistic was a lie 15 years ago.
What does this picture say to you? If you think the white guy's the hero, you might be racist.
