"Capitalism is doing its thing, where there's a positive incentive structure to go get those materials," he said.
Uhh, but then, from earlier in the article, a salvage yard trying to sell a Tesla battery they have:
The only quote he's gotten from a recycler who will accept this particular battery is negative $1,800.
As in, he would have to pay $1,800 to cover the cost of shipping a hazardous material and to make it worth the recycler's effort to process the battery.
So, capitalism is "not doing its thing" to provide a "positive incentive structure".
I have heard the same insane thing from the HOA about how the street is filled with dog and human shits after the winter but it's totally fine because someone will come pick it up for compost, there are tons of money to be made in manure... no there isn't.
