"Are ready"? They've been doing that for years. Nike shoes are cut up before throwing away so people can't salvage them. I've heard of some bakeries pouring chemicals over their leftovers to deter dumpster diving. If they can't sell it, they will actively make it unusable so even the trash can't be salvaged.
They throw away expired food, someone takes it and is ill, they sue, and some fucked up jurisdictions side with the plaintiff. So yeah they’ll destroy what they can.
You should apply for a job at the Latestage Capitalism Bullshittery Department.
find me a single example of that ever happening. any case where the case wasn't thrown out.
Because people dumpster diving have the means to hire lawyers or lawyers are dumb enough to take on a case like that on contingency.
🙄🙄🙄
This sounds like something that only happens in USA
It doesn’t. The law is very clear about this but bootlickers live in an alternate reality where their legal fictions make sense to them.
My partner's been dumpster diving in the U.S. for like a decade, they've told me it's not a thing. This has never happened in the states.
That’s not how that works. The law is very clear about this.
