Image Recognition, Mini Apps, QR Codes: How China Uses Tech To Sort Its Waste (techcrunch.com) 18

That is the cost of freedom.
A society with garbage, drugs, violence is a byproduct of freedom. To fix these problems we will need to make decisions that all people will need to change a behavior or stop using or a product. Every time we make a new rule, to say to the Citizen you Must Do/Do not this is taking away a bit of our freedom.
Now I am not doing some libertarian rant.
If you are for Gun Rights, don’t pretend for an instant, that we will be safer with everyone having guns, it isn’t. We will be saferthis is a sign of a society with no respect and no time to care because profit profit profit…
FTFY.
PS: Most “drugs violence” is a result of people not being free to use them.
Part of the reason for all the political conflict, is the fact Freedom is hard to balance. My Freedom will probably conflict with someone else’s freedom. My Freedom for Clean Drinking Water, may conflict with a local farmer who has freedom to farm and grow food, where it may pollute the drinking water supply.
I don’t think the freedom to pollute, dump garbage everywhere, cut down forests, etc., is something to be negociated.
Let’s also start fining people for not correctly separating stuff into the colored bins for recycling, like they do in (eg.) Germany.
Around here people just treat all bins the same and dump their garbage in whichever one’s closest.
(Land of the “free”, right…?)
I think the QR codes will survive even if you “crush” a bag.
