You are getting down voted, but folks really need to look at DB extremely shady history.

I like the way it's written. I often write in a similar manner and I have never used LLMs to generate an writing for me. I have written exactly this way at work.
Too me, the author is just trying to get to the point. They know people start skimming if there is too much text.

I think you are forgetting about time. If the rate of stuff needing to get recycle is lower, then there is more time to recycle. If there the rate is too high then the facilities are overwhelmed and resort to less optimal strategies.
This is why reduce and reuse are important.

He just supported the status quo. Look how much money he lost during the 2008 crisis.
Summers is just weather vane for current economic thinking. He's not a particularly brilliant at anything.

As someone who voted for Bill Clinton. If Bill Clinton is implicated, then he needs to suffer for it.
I think the real question is why didn't the Biden administration release the files. How many very powerful people left and right are in there?

As a student in my forties I have been appalled at the price and quality of many of my textbooks. The $300 dollars worth of textbooks in one class could have done with a few youtube videos. The publishers know this cash cow is coming to an end due to piracy and online textbook rentals. Now, they are charging less for textbook but gouging students on the mandatory online components.
