Solid Waste Disappearing

Interesting information for Aguanomics. The more expensive the restrictions on waste disposal, the more likely that firms will try to avoid that expense. The Italian mafia have stepped in to offer a new service to their existing business line -- illegal waste dumping. In 2008, about 20 percent of waste "disappeared" from the monitored waste stream. It would be interesting to know how much disappears in Israel. I presume about 30 - 50% finds its way to Shomron and Yehuda's illegal dumping sites operated by Palestinians.

Another un-accounted cost of sharing a country with a Third World people. In addition to their stealing and killing. In a marginal note, I would say that 90% of what we call terrorism is not really organized political warfare, but just another expression of the inborn lawlessness and violence of these peoples.
