A quick definition of ameliorating waste:

Term: Ameliorating Waste

Definition: Ameliorating waste means improving or making waste better. Waste is anything that is no longer useful or needed and is thrown away. Amelioration is the act of making something better. So, ameliorating waste means finding ways to make waste less harmful to the environment or finding ways to reuse or recycle it instead of just throwing it away. This helps to reduce the negative impact of waste on our planet.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Ameliorating waste refers to the act of improving or making something better that was previously considered waste.

Example: Recycling is a common way of ameliorating waste. Instead of throwing away materials like paper, plastic, and glass, they are collected and processed to create new products. This not only reduces the amount of waste in landfills but also conserves natural resources.

Explanation: The example illustrates how recycling is a form of ameliorating waste. By collecting and processing materials that were previously considered waste, they are given a new purpose and are made useful again. This not only benefits the environment but also contributes to the economy by creating jobs in the recycling industry.

@texaslawhopefully: Psssh I would not use gender relations as a way to defend Trump. He does not go that route and I think literally him and everyone in their cabinet has no idea what those are. I mean, just look at how many divorces Elon and Trump have had.

Was that not why you said you voted for him?

Nah, I did not vote. I have never voted in my life because I have a lot of issues with it. 4 years ago my mom filled out my ballot for me because she wanted to but I do not vote.

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: Out of curiosity, since you're in law school and prolly know fedsoc people, how conservative do you think you have to be to be in fedsoc? Like is a david french sort of conservative fairly common in it, or is it the maga type people mainly

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

17:46

i dont interact with any fedsoc people, but i dont know any maga people at cornell. but the student body overwhelmingly leans left, so i think they might not be comfortable showing that theyre conservative if that makes sense?

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

one time a guy kind of crashed out about masks in conlaw

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

17:46

but that's the most ive seen

texaslawhopefully

17:47

Yeah, that does make sense. I would like to join fedsoc, but I'm also, clearly, very opposed to Trump and where the GOP has gone.

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

17:48

if you join fedsoc and go for clerking and eventually become a judge. you will be pinholed into maga politics as long as maga is the predominant conservative stance

Also pretty much agree with Wasp. I think it’s more about getting the political/judicial position as a Fedsoc member that will likely require a stance siding with whatever the conservative majority party is at that time.

texaslawhopefully

18:07

Yeah, that's fair. I guess I need to think about it more assuming I start law school in the fall. I really want to clerk and that seems like the best option.

ImpartialLion

18:07

BUT i think once you get the position, you’ll have more leeway in making decisions more liberally. Sort of like how ACB and Gorsuch sometimes swing left after being portreayed in the media as far right (not sure if that was actually the case though).

From the perspective of someone who interned at the White House, I will add that my bosses always told me to “be careful about my resume.” Don’t want to align with any org that doesn’t fit your values because you won’t be trusted by the other side until you show them you’re legit again, and word travels in DC.

I mean I highly highly doubt I'll become a federal judge, it's more just about getting a leg up in getting opportunities in the first place
