Isn't it crazy that the richest city in the world can't manage trash properly. If they can feed all those people and take all their sewage. certainly there must be a way to remove all the trash they produce, without throwing it on the street

Eh, wasn’t it like Dubai or something that for the longest time didn’t even have working sewage? Like in the slightest. Was all pumped out by semi trucks instead & dumped… somewhere They have all the money & this part of the city was literally planned IIRC. But yeah, no working sewage.

Is it the richest city in the world? In the USA i think it has the highest income inequality https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/infographic-shows-new-york-has-the-highest-income-inequality/ https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/infographic-shows-new-y...

  The USA is the richest country in the world despite many other countries having less inequality. Inequality isn't a measure of absolute wealth. Also isn't NYC home to the most millionaires in the world? That probably skews measures of inequality (that said it is famous internationally for having terrible poverty as well as wealth).

    Why is the wealth to count "the richest" measures only by the net worth of the richest in the city and not by some other more sensible measure? If I were to find myself in what's allegedly the richest city in the richest country I would be shocked to see even a single homeless person, let alone trash and rats everywhere. I think the word "richest" is being used weirdly or perhaps even incorrectly to describe NYC.
