Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 25, 2019

Yo, Rinny.

The reason there’s so much trash? Manufacturers. I tried to buy a small, 2 inch fan blade to fix my washer pump. No can do. I had to buy an complete new pump. Until companies make their products fixable, not disposable, the trash will continue to pile up.

So which nation(s) produce the other four-fifths of garbage?

one half of American trash is good stuff but no longer used ( electronics because they always want the latest is one example) I once had to get something new because it was cheaper then repairing the one I already had.

I hear the government produces most of that trash, or gives it jobs in the Whitehouse

I’m not sure about the number, it could be more, but America does produce a lot of garbage called rap “music.” It gets worse if you add the rest of the garbage called “video streaming service content” or “Hollywood megaproduction.” And “politics”, I almost forgot the biggest source of garbage :D

Did Mr. Wayne subsequently start teaching high school science, getting cancer and making Meth?

Ours is primarily in the form of pop culture icons.

I loved Mad Magazine’s spoof, Run Tin Can.

The US has 20% of the garbage but 24% of GDP so we produce less garbage per GDP than other countries, on average, BION.

Ronald Wayne: Dooooh!

It may sound great, but Rin Tin Tin’s diet probably sent him to an early grave.

I bet that’s a decision that Ronald Wayne rues every day.

Only one-fifth? I’m surprised it’s not more. But then, where do they get these statistics?

And we sell that trash to China. They recycle it.

No wonder Ronald Wayne was forgotten.

What did Rinny get fed when the movie producers didn’t want him any more?

Rin-Tin-Tin’s films generated so much revenue that they saved the studio. He and his progeny had careers from 1922 to the 1960s in film, radio and television. “Rinty” was a big star.

Ronald Wayne also holds the record for continuously kicking himself in the ass. BELIEVE IT OR NOT!

Re landfill: Wire in controller on wife’s power chair broke. Tried to purchase new controller and cord. Only available in set with transformer and motor. (Been patching the wiring – good so far)

I would say China, India and Japan would be next on the list…

Based on the drawing, I’m assuming they mean The United States of America. America can be comprised of South America and North America (which includes Canada and a bunch of other countries).

That’s only because Hollywood produces one fifth of the world’s movies.

…and a lot of trash besides talking…

….and a large portion of that trash was produced in China before it came to us.
