Now metals are fed into huge shredders to fill export containers

That is mixed scrap, not near as valuable as sorted (clean) metals.
I assume that waste stream goes through magnetic separation at least
but you still need a way to separate aluminum and copper from the
plastic and glass.
That is easier done in a 3d world plant where labor cost, worker
safety and environmental concerns are not as important.


Right, it's hard to compete with those libertarian countries where there
are few or no standards for labor cost, worker safety, or the
environment.


You don't have a clue do you?

The democrats want to be more like those countries with a government
that controls the means of production and micro manages every aspect
of everyone's life.



The Democratic Party has no interest in the government "controlling" the
means of production or "managing" every aspect of everyone's life. I get
a lot of "snail mail" and electronic mailings from Democratic Party
sources and affinity groups, and even from a couple of self-described
"socialist" organizations, and none of them are talking the nonsense you
bring up here.

You need to expand your horizons and stop paying so much attention to
libertarian nonsense and right-wing media. Perhaps you can audit a local
university liberal arts course in critical thinking.

I will grant you, however, that the United States is headed either
towards a revolution or a serious restructuring. This country cannot be
sustained if 99% of everything is owned/controlled by the wealthiest 3%.
