Some things are fixed

I finally went through and fixed all the page links. But, not the ones in the blogs. One step at a time.

Something I noticed was that Aushlin actually wrote a little bit. It looks like it was a few months ago, but his message was worthwhile, and followed. I'm not going to say he had an influence, but neither direction could really be proven given what he knows. (aquillun.space/aushlin-thinks#black-and-white) I did move it to a section that hopefully gets more paragraphs over time. I'll just have to remember to look.

But, it's been a busy time for me. Not that I was paying much attention to its passage. If I had, I would have been here earlier. (aquillun.space/on-second-thought#its-been-a-while)

A few weeks ago it was rather windy on trash collection day. If you've read, I live in a place that has tried its best to be more repressive than any communist place I've been.

One of their battles is with plastic bags, like the ones for groceries. Those convenient ones that are easy to carry and are useful for secondary things such as smelly diapers while traveling, trash bin liners, among other uses.

To be clear, they are all for having plastic bags for all your vegetables, processed foods, and other items. Though I'm sure they'd much rather you used canned vegetables and foods so they could pretend to recycle the metal containers. Much like they have been pretending to recycle plastics for the previous years.

But, that wasn't what I noticed. I noticed what happens when these plastic bags are used. There have been some brainwashed to the point of not using even the plastic trash liners. Instead, just dumping all the loose trash into the bins.

If the trash trucks had the proper design, this may not be an issue. But, like many things, proper designs aren't feasible in a fiscal economy. Cash economy may be another word. When the trucks empty the bins with the big robot arm, the trash falls from the bin into the truck, but isn't shielded from the wind and weather.

The result is these loose items being blown about causing a large amount of litter in the streets and everyone's yards. Now, if all that trash was properly contained in a plastic bag, it would be an issue. Even those small grocery bags they tend to unleash their washed-out hatred on.
