Exactly right but why is the issue here that the city is losing out on money?
The issue should be that people in our society are so desperate for income that they're literally digging through our trash for our scraps, no?
- chongli 5y agoThey're driving fancy pickup trucks so I wouldn't call them desperate. They are scavengers by choice. They could just as easily pick up a trade and do honest work for a living. There is absolutely no shortage of work for skilled trades workers. My roommate is a drywall taper and he makes a lot of money. He tells me about how unreliable the other people in his trade are. There is a TON of opportunity for people who work hard and act responsibly.
- johnnyApplePRNG 5y agoI don't disagree that hard work is rewarded... But I have never seen a bottle picker driving a pickup. Usually they are lucky if they can find a ripped garbage bag to carry the bottles in.
