New York City’s costly solution to a trash dilemma has finally arrived, courtesy of a $4 million consulting firm hired two years ago. Mayor Eric Adams beamed with enthusiasm as he unveiled the answer to the city’s waste disposal woes: garbage bins. But not everyone is impressed with this latest achievement.
For 21 months, taxpayers forked over nearly $4 million for the consulting firm to devise a system for residents to contain their trash. The end result? A tried-and-true solution used nationwide. Residents are now encouraged to use garbage bins, which are picked up by the city. Gone are the days of littering the sidewalks with trash bags.
One might wonder what other profound insights this innovative city has uncovered. Could the city soon discover that violent criminals pose a threat to society while imprisoned, only to lavish more taxpayer dollars on a consulting firm to verify this long-established fact? As New York City continues to tout its unparalleled brilliance, only time will tell what creative solutions await its residents.
