Stossel: Even Greenpeace Says “Most Plastic Simply Cannot Be Recycled.”
From Stossel TV
For decades we’ve been told recycling helps the Earth. It really doesn’t.
Recycling is a “sacrament of the green religion,” says Science Writer John Tierney. He once debunked recycling claims in an infamous New York Times column “Recycling is Garbage.”
“It’s even more true today,” Tierney tells me. Greenpeace now says plastic recycling is a “dead-end street.” Often it’s also a costly scam.

Why Letting Your Kid Walk Home Alone Could Land You in Jail
From StosselTV
A mother was ARRESTED for letting her 8-year-old son walk half a mile home. Prosecutors said she put her kid “in imminent danger of death.” Really?
The police argued it is too dangerous for a kid to walk alone in his own neighborhood. The data show otherwise. Being in a car is 200 times more dangerous than the risk of getting kidnapped. There are only about FIVE stranger abductions per year, according to: https://www.missingkids.org/content/d… In contrast, traffic deaths averaged 2,386: https://wisqars.cdc.gov/reports/?o=MO…
Lenore Skenazy, author of “Free Range Kids,” points out that irrational fear makes parents and authorities overreact, and keep kids from going out and learning about the world. For the full story, you can watch our video here.

Free Money? What a UBI Would Really Do to People … and the National Debt
From StosselTV
“Universal Basic Income” is trendy, but studies show that it makes people work less, and save less.
Conrad Shaw, Vice President of the “Income to Support All Foundation,” believes Universal Basic Income will help people start new businesses and invest in home improvements.
But a study backed by Sam Altman (creator of ChatGPT) tested that theory out. They handed 1,000 people, $1,000 for 3 years. Some of the recipients did make good financial decisions. But overall, the group ended up a little deeper in debt and had a lower net worth!
I’m not surprised. If you give people free money, they’ll work less. Incentives matter. But even after this study, UBI proponents still believe a UBI is a good idea. Is it?
Our new video takes a look.
