Wait... NYC doesn't have those huge underground bins yet?

IME those are pretty common in even smaller cities in Europe. Even the UK has them in plenty of cities. Frees up a lot of space and you don't need to empty them as much.

America really is weird sometimes. Imagine being rich as sin, buying a multi-million dollar property in NYC, then being ok with the neighbourhood around that property smelling like someone died after fucking a dumpster filled with fish, because you're ideologically opposed to even a small tax hike.

90% of tax money in the past evaporated for

  1. subsidies for large corporations
  2. fixing roads for people living upstate in the middle of nowhere
  3. corrupt / shady contracts that never get fulfilled

This left us in a huge deficit with 0 public infrastructure improvements for decades.

People werent ok with it, but the billionaires running things lived upstate or in gated communities.

1-2 are two subsections of 3, though... and there are many more.

NYC has a lot of old infrastructure beneath the roads. Like a LOT. It’s improbable in most places because of cost. I’d be surprised if there was any soil left in mahattan at all

That multi-million dollar property comes with a climate controlled underground garage so they don't have to smell the poors ever. Checkmate

Soon, they'll have bunkers. Just watch. 🤫

Make sure not to poop in the air vents.

Make sure not to poop in the exhaust air vents.

Those blow out/up, and you'll have a bad time. Find the intake to make sure you're not enshittifying yourself while attending to a civic ~~duty~~ dookie. 🫡
