New York City Reportedly Spent $4 Million Dollars On A Study To Figure Out If Trash Bags Are Better Off In Garbage Cans

Really New York City? $4 million for a study on the effectiveness of trash cans? Sometimes we regular people sit back and look at the government deficit and wonder how they got so deep into debt. Then you hear stories like this, where New York City reportedly spent $4 million on a study to see if trash cans would be better than just throwing bags on the street, and you say, "Yeah that government deficit makes sense." Back in 2022, the Big Apple promised to fork over $4 million to McKinsey and Company - a management consultant company - to see if their city would be better off putting their trash in bins, as opposed to loosely throwing it out on the curbs. That's just astonishing, both because it cost so much and it apparently took two years for McKinsey and Company to come to a conclusion. https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1810755880067158522 Just yesterday, New York City and it's mayor went viral for introducing a "trash revolution," which in reality is just a garbage can on wheels that exists in basically every other city on the planet. I don't know if you can call that a "revolution" as much as you could call it a "realization." The video of the announcement - which is 100% real and not from a well-written comedy - is just absurdly funny: https://twitter.com/thedailyfriday_/status/1810678304149549468 Why didn't New York City consult me on this trash issue? If they would have still been willing to pay $4 million for the research, I would have happily poured myself into the study. Not only that, I would have gotten my findings back to them in a lot less than two years. In fact, here's my study that I just did in real time: Question: Is throwing trash out on the side of the road in one of the most populated cities (people and rats) in the world a bad idea? Answer: Yes, put trash bags in containers. Please give me millions of dollars now. That research took me less than 15 seconds, and most of that time was just typing everything out. But hey, I guess NYC has more money than they know what to do with. At least the trash problem in the City That Always Stinks City That Never Sleeps seems to be heading in the right direction.
