it's all a gimmick to create closed loop money generation......you smelt aluminium and make products out of it that make you money....you then pay to dispose of the waste. flouridation Takes that waste and turns it into a profit as well....thus creating a closed loop profit venture......at no point in reality are you losing profit where profit doesn't ""need"" to be lost. Thats what it boils down too.......you refine oil.......and whats left....a bunch of by-products,,,you take the by-products and make more products out of them i.e. plastic bottle, and just about everything else sythetic on this planet....closed loop markets........it's another form of monopoly that the general public doesn't see as a monopoly.
