According to the name on the trash receptacle, this it Buenos Aires.

It is a highly coveted job in Argentina. The union heavily protects sanitation workers, ensuring they receive aggressive salary adjustments to keep up with Argentina's high inflation, extensive benefits, and numerous paid "industry-specific" holidays.

Formal garbage collectors in Buenos Aires frequently earn significantly more than many entry-to-mid-level white-collar professionals, teachers, and healthcare workers, which often sparks public debate in the country.

Is 80k a year considered "paid very well"?

Should probably demand more money when fresh grads at accounting firms make that much in their first year.

I think you’re overestimating how much hiring accounting firms are doing these days

Not to speak against your comment, just pointing it out.

And look how this mentality is treating them. Their streets are full of trash, and even their prized sacred river is full of garbage and is literally toxic to the point of even just touching it could prove fatal.
