I agree on that front, the engineering of these bins has gotta be a big factor in the cost, although there has been government and union corruption recently, which would’ve ballooned the cost a little, but I’m not sure by how much.

what I don’t understand however is why they chose to do a machete amnesty program rather than anything else, such as improving rehabilitative justice, and removing the endless crime loophole caused by bailouts (which tbf is being acted on currently,) for example.
