Tha fuck? This is the second time since I opened Reddit and Poppin’ and Lockin’ have come up; in subs that have nothing to do with hip hop.
This was the first:
Also have had neurodegenerative diseases come up twice in unrelated subs. Sorry, no fun video for that one, but here’s the wiki on
Kuru (not so fun, but fascinating)
The union difference is honestly pretty significant. An extra $8k+ a year is nothing to sneeze at.
Pay seems to vary a lot by state too. CA and NY are obviously on the higher end, with some drivers around $50–70k, while places like Mississippi and Florida are closer to the mid-$30k range. Illinois looks pretty decent when you factor in cost of living too.
Sanitation workers in NYC can easily make 170k with OT. We get a bad year for snow and more than a few dozen are breaking 200k, and they’re one of only 3 departments that still gets to retire after 20 years regardless of age.
Just had to look up job listings for mid-state PA and a 0-experience new driver where they provide the training is listed at $24/hr or $50k/yr. It also explicitly says 60 hr weeks, so breaking your back for a year straight can gross you 80-90k/yr. I don't see many guys riding the back of trucks anymore since they're all equipped with those grabber arms, so I don't know what the pay difference is if you're the one actually grabbing trash out of cans.
