No one expects young men to do anything and they are responding by doing nothing

The epitome of privilege is assuming everyone has house servants to empty their trash cans. My trash cans at home do not empty themselves, nor do I have my hired man do it for me.

Yes, I admit elderly living in nursing homes do have hired help empty their trash cans.

Is it a sign of society collapse that one-armed individuals and those lacking any upper body strength cannot live in the lap of luxury? Nah, they go be cashiers at the same store. Well, whatabout those too dumb to make change but too smart to get SSDI disability? Whataboutism has become tiresome and as such is no longer effective propaganda.

I have worked a job where emptying trash cans was one of my responsibilities, and it is nothing like emptying the trash at home. They're enormous, heavy, usually leaking putrid liquid, and you have to lift them above your head to dump them in a dumpster. Some of the putrid liquid will get in your hair every day, and you won't be able to get rid of the smell until you get to go home and shower in the evening. It's hard to appreciate how bad of a job it is if you haven't done it.

the worst thing about that smell is it follows you even after the shower.
