I didn't call it "e-waste". You did. I said figure out how to recycle it. Nothing about disposing of it, which already is a problem.
Maine isn't the only place that uses phones and microchips. This is a global problem. Why do you think Maine is a good place to aggravate the problem by allowing rich fucks to get richer by destroying our natural resources and then leave us with the clean up?

e-waste is the common nomanclature for all of it. Being pedantic is goofy.
You're right this is a global problem. So what are you doing to solve the global problem besides whining that you shouldn't have to shoulder any of the burden of the industry you clearly enjoy the fruits of?
This is not a new conversation, and you have no reasonable rebuttal to it. NIMBYism sucks no matter how many coats of sugar you shellack it with.

How are you going to benefit from mining these minerals? Fess up. Full disclosure.

Yes, I'm a mining industry shill. I got 75 cents for making this comment. Good stuff.
I see that we've reached the end of any useful discussion, so y'all can jerk yourselves raw in peace.

No answer to why you're advocating for the mining industry? Then shut the fuck up. You have no idea what it can do to the environment and economy of an area. Sit this one out.

Yeah let Africans and South Americans take their fair share of environmental and economic consequences!
