This is not a "leaked study". It was relased to the public in April 2023 and was covered in the press at the time. Furthermore, McKinsey was paid $1.6 million for the study, not $4m as widely claimed, so it is somewhat misleading to say they were paid "millions of dollars" https://www.nyc.gov/site/dsny/resources/reports/the-future-of-trash.page https://www.crainsnewyork.com/politics/containerized-trash-possible-new-york-city-report-finds https://www.thecity.nyc/2024/04/04/new-yorkers-recycling-less-sanitation/

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1837999887755227643

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
