Capitalism

Street/Parking Lot Cleaners.

Every night, I clean up:

• Styrofoam cups/cans/plastic cups & bottles
• tossed out left over fast food
• dirty diapers that someone couldn’t walk 7 feet through the Walmart parking lot to throw in an actual trash can
• empty boxes for: flat-screen TVs, Car seats, memory foam mattresses, or Amazon purchases
• disposable vapes
• trash bags that someone decided needed to be left in a parking lot instead of in a dumpster
• So. Many. Plastic. Hangers.
• receipts
• grocery bags
• candy wrappers
• Edit shattered glass, but it makes that gravel in a vacuum sound when the truck sucks it up, so that’s nice.

And the only time I get thanked is when my employer asks me to do extra work because there was a storm, another driver was out sick, another driver needed help on a site, or there was a big event that needed to be cleaned for/after.

Except that the user they were responding to is on lemmy.ml and the reddit community is on lemmy.world. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this post wouldn’t show up on for them unless they’d joined the community directly.

When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who’s going to die! You don’t know whose children are going to scream and burn! How many hearts will be broken! How many lives shattered! How much blood will spill until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: Sit — down — and — talk!

It doesn’t matter how good they look; someone, somewhere, is tired of putting up with their shit.

Sure as fuck not the fuck-ton of them that have gone on in the last 8 years.
