    People say this but clean their own toilets and take out their own trash literally every day. We could go on an talk about capitalist overproduction and production for profit over production for need creates too much garbage, but I doubt its necessary.

      They take their own trash out to the dumpster, where now they don’t have to think about it, and once it overflows because nobody wants to be the one dealing with other people’s trash, “not my problem”

      You are correct. I would like to add that in rural areas, one also has to act as their own garbage collection service and drive their garbage to the dump, which should be 50 miles or more away.

        Having 10 billion vehicles constantly taking trash to a dump because of how unstructured and disorganized the economy would be is hugely inefficient in a lot of ways
