.cwtremo asks: Is Philadelphia trying to suppress recycling?
The other day, I embraced my inner environmentalist and tried to get my mother a free recycling bin issued by Philadelphia's Department of Streets. I figured it would be easy since there wasn't any cost. I planned to show up, get the bin, and drive back to my mother's house. However, when I tried to get one, I was stopped by multiple city workers and yelled at like I was trying to steal the Declaration of Independence.
So, wouldn't this mean that Philadelphia suppresses recycling by black and brown people? I ask this because Democrats, especially in cities such as Philadelphia, have repeatedly said it's close to impossible for minorities to get IDs. Comments from the former chairwoman of the Office of City Commissioners , Stephanie Singer, a Democrat, echoed the notion that any laws requiring IDs were to suppress minorities.
