       People are cheapskates with poor people but spendthrift with billionaires. I just listened to someone complaining about how "the garbage union" has schemed so that there are always two people operating NYC garbage trucks to "waste my tax dollars" and I guess making too many wealthy sanitation workers... oh no the horror.I like that there are two people on each truck. It's more efficient and safer.  But, even if it was somehow a waste I promise you that's not who is wasting your money bud.

       I'm struggling to even getting myself into the headspace where two people working a truck is upsetting to me. Maybe this person works for UPS or some delivery company where drivers work alone and it is often *very dangerous*. (but just workable I guess? They still block traffic all the time) and they want everyone to suffer?How do you look at a $7,000,000 patriot missile and get mad about more people being employed in the very honorable and *life-saving* work of collecting garbage?

       How have so many people been trained to think like they are private equity managers who just want to cut every job, anything that makes middle class people exist?And this comment had a bunch of likes ... none of the people getting mad about  this really are private equity managers. They won't get rich. But the sight of people with "cushy" (livable, decent) jobs just makes them mad?It's so depressing.
