Statist Thugs Versus Cluttering Hoarders

In a recent post I mentioned how, as a de-cluttering solution, one might simply  put their junk out on the corner for scavengers, *migrant* workers, and other hoarding 'old coots'...

But it turns out that grabbing corner trash in front of unionized sanitation workers can potentially land one in a bit of trouble:

See - Sanitation Thugs Mug Queens Man - Then Steal His Aunt's Car

Essentially, some guy picked up an unwanted air conditioner from the curb. Witnessed by a sanitation worker, he was given a $2,000 fine, had his car impounded, AND they fined the owner (his 73 year old aunt) of the car $2,000!

Who says *the Mob* is out of the sanitation business!!!???

Nobody should ever pity those guys on the back of garbage trucks.

Many are unionized. They are always grabbing useful trash, e.g. like air conditioners(!), setting them aside, and selling them. And they also make a good deal in cash tips. They do this by accepting toxic and other kinds of trash that they aren't supposed to stuff in the truck; and grateful *customers* take care of them with a wink and some green.
