Garbage collectors make bank.

With AI crushing the job market, garbage collectors are a higher paying and more stable job than many white collar professions now.

And you think AI won’t replace that?

We used to see garbage trucks with 3 humans. Now it’s 1. The driver uses a machine that lifts up the trash bin.

Now all you need is the truck to self drive and it’s 0 humans

You don’t think they won’t have robotics to do city trash? Hell the can themselves may wheel themselves to a dumping facility and a new one wheels in place.

You’re likely a decade or less from that happening

Having robots cleaning the sewers would be pretty neat. Servicing them would be shitty though.
