Hillary Clinton’s Open Plea To China
"Since Russia is clearly backing republicans, why don't we ask China to back us?"
She actually said this on live television…
@GovPressOffice@CAgovernor Because holding the ...Governor... of... California... accountable for his "fair share" of failures would be downright silly.
This is absolutely incredible. You’re watching in real time as a homegrown, family run, American Buffalo textile company needs to, under California environmental law, pay fees to a foreign NGO with ties to a European (German) for-profit company (Landbell) for the pleasure of selling his all natural, buffalo wool products in California in the name of “sustainability.”
The thinking is this NGO collects old clothing and recycles it by repairing it and reusing it (or something). This is a preposterous program! Most modern textiles cannot be broken down mechanically without damaging the fiber quality, making them unusable in new apparel. So you spend all this money and manpower driving all over the state to collect these things and the best you can do it make a lower quality product like insulation, rags, stuffing. It’s not a closed loop system recycling socks back into socks! You’re just paying a bunch of administrators in California, a foreigner NGO, taking money out of the pockets of small American businesses or forcing them to leave the state. Most of the clothing the NGO collects will be incinerated or land filled anyways!
This program should be called “pay California and this foreigner NGO a bribe to sell your socks in our state.” It’s outrageous and the winners here are Walmart and target who now get to take over markets where an American buffalo producer used to be, selling us plastic socks from Chinese slaves. This horrendous law, or multi layered NGO facilitated bribery scheme, just hurt a small American business whose model promotes the most iconic species of wildlife in our country alongside education and natural fibers.
Please tell me @kennethschrupp and @christopherrufo are working on a story on this.
Part of what caused this is thousands of “environmental” graduates who’ve never had to take a life cycle analysis/sustainability engineering course in their lives because they were busy studying environmental racism. That’s who makes these decisions. Absolutely nuts.
