Reply to Daycare prices by PrincipleLarge2118
they're insane. if you don't need full day, its somewhat better. but if you need to be able to drop your kid off early and pick them up after 5 you are looking at 2K+ per kid if you are anywhere near the Boston area.
​
It also depends on the kids age. infant to 2, way more expensive because its harder. the older they get, it gets less expensive. last year in daycare for our second (more-pre-K) and we'll be paying $2200 / month

Reply to Bloomberg: Amazon Packages Burn in India, Final Stop in Broken Recycling System. Plastic wrappers and parcels that start off in Americans’ recycling bins end up at illegal dumpsites and industrial furnaces — and inside the lungs of people by ombx
recycling is such a con- need full scale regulation and govt investment. regulation = no more single use plastics, all other plastics must be 100% recyclable, phase in all composts. this is not as hard as it seems but OIL

fair. no idea why towns / cities aren’t picking up anymore. maybe call? the text of the bill says specifically it’s about businesses / industry:

may just be me, but when you buy a new mattress don’t you have the company take your old one?

you should donate your old clothes anyway? people may need them - and there are a ton of places to do so
-
this is targeted at large companies / organizations that toss mattresses / textiles rather than recycling

when you buy a mattress, many companies will take your old one for recycling. there will also be pick up at a cost per my understanding. shoes can be dropped off at a lot of bins around the state / your town
