    @ScottStarkey This reminds me of a story that's surely made its rounds a couple times in internet circles about one of the most successful policy wins in the U.S.: Lead-acid battery recycling.Lead-acid batteries are huge environmental risks and addressing these risks means as close to 100% of lead-acid batteries need to be recycled or at least turned in and disposed of properly. Lead-acid batteries are almost entirely recyclable, the running wisdom being only the label on the outside and the paper-like material between the pieces of lead not being fully recyclable.Instead of attacking the problem by punishing or rewarding recycling, the law adds a core charge deposit to new batteries which is substantial to most folk but not outrageous - $22 I think these days. However, if you turn in an old battery at the same time you purchase a new one, that core charge is not applied (since you get the money back but it is immediately applied to the new battery). Further, if you return a battery but don't purchase a new one, you get $22 back.With this regulation, lead-acid batteries are some of the most recycled consumer components out there. Almost everyone wants to avoid the core charge and at the same time, is pleased when it works out in their favor when recycling or turning in a battery.I would say that this rule works because it was designed so people want to follow it, whether or not they like or know anything about the rule at all. The choices are clear and simple to everyone and it takes a lot for someone to be okay with missing out on $22. Further, if that old battery is ever found by anyone else, they immediately have a financial incentive to do the right thing.

    archive: https://archive.is/2lmVD Andrés Fernando Tufiño Chila, a 42-year-old Ecuadorian native with a drug-trafficking record, was one of two survivors of an Oct. 16 U.S. strike on a submarine that the Pentagon alleges was carrying drugs overseas. Two others were killed in the strike, and the fourth was extradited to Colombia. The U.S. military captured Chila, then sent him back to Ecuador to be prosecuted. However, the U.S. provided the Ecuadorian government with no evidence that could lead to Chila’s arrest. Any evidence proving that Chila was committing a crime on that boat, such as seized drugs, GPS records, or cell phones, was blasted to the bottom of the sea.

    This week I saw a sport journalist reprimanding those who say "sport should not involve itself with politics" (re: UEFA banning Israel) with the point that sport always was political

    Now, I personally am on the side of thinking people can do good in one area and be shit in another, and that in some roles it may be preferable to have less conflict-generating people, and that free speech does not mean free of social consequences.But you do you.
