This isn't required around the D?

There was a report on NPR today about how Canadian cities are putting an alloy in the copper that is really hard to remove and a plastic that doesn't burn off that makes it worthless to scrappers and has stopped them as soon as they see the new wire Detroit should use the same copper wire
Ridiculous that law regarding this cannot be passed. I mean really who is the vote for the legitimate folks or crooks. Pawn shops take fingerprints.. if you're not selling illegially what's the issue? How much money has been wasted in this city because of this is ridiculous beyond words.

In reality, cash business offer a fraction of support to government due to rampant fudge in the books.
