My job for a long time involved digging up people's septic tanks and fixing them. I know other people who pump them for a living. I know others who buy the waste and dry it. And people of all stripes buy it after it's treated and mixed with mulch and put it on their lawn. This problem is much more minor than you think. Lots of us are not afraid of poop.
- ben_w 4y ago"Lots" is not necessarily "enough". Does SF have only a few dozen "poop disasters" a day? The language in this thread suggests the number is higher and the nature is worse than your language would imply, but I wouldn't know as I've only been a tourist there. Even if "lots" was enough, how much did you earn doing that job? I don't know American politics beyond Team Red vs. Team Blue, are American cities willing to pay for enough cleaners?
- krisoft 4y agoCool. So we have these 3 public bathrooms around the city. How much do you charge to keep them clean and what is your SLA?
- withinboredom 4y agoThey charge ~€0.70 to use the public restrooms around here. They are always clean.
- DubiousPusher 4y agoI don't really care what it costs. Just as I don't really care what it costs to fund the public defenders office. If a law is too expensive to enforce justly, maybe we need to reconsider that law.
