Somewhere in the US, there just has to be a perfectly ordinary garbage truck driver or can slinger by the name of Luigi. Like the Luigi we all know and love, his job is quite literally to take out the trash.
Taking out the trash is a damned important job! For more useful and productive employment than any CEO ever did. Imagine the huge, stinking piles of rotting garbage without trash collectors and recyclers on the job. Yet rich and many middle class people still hold them in contempt.
Years ago, I think it was Trent Lott who tried to order DC not to spend THEIR OWN MONEY on garbage collection during that bullshit "government shutdown" in 2013 (that excluded police, military,and prisons). A call went out over a weekend with trash day looming for DC residents to bring their trash to his house and dump it there on the following Monday. By that date the shutdown was over!
