>>we won't dispose of all the things your old car produces either.
Which is exactly the point - we are already not properly disposing of things in the proper way (the 10 year old with a rock example), so what makes anyone think that it will be any different going forward? Why would anyone assume that corporations or government will do any better disposing of these 'new' things, when we have had 50-75 years to figure out how to safely dispose of the 'old' things and have so far failed; they end up being shipped overseas, so we pollute someone else's backyard, not our own.

- falcolas 5y agoWhat's the incentive to improve on the status quo? The infrastructure is established, the costs are low. Improving requires quite a few up-front investments and overall higher operating costs. It's hard to convince modern companies (i.e. those who focus on profit above all else) to take such hits against their market value.
