“It is hard work, it is honest work, it is a public service. All honest work has dignity. Why NOT respect it? Because it is physical labor? Because it is dirty.
My attitude is the polar opposite of patronizing.”
I respect the PEOPLE that do the work, as I have a baseline respect for all humans, but not the work itself. To respect picking up trash, seems like a bit of an overreach. But this is all likely semantics.
I was in Reno earlier this year. I was driving cross country, from the Brooklyn Bridge to the Golden Gate. I had stayed overnight at a ratty little motel in Winnemucca, Nevada. Woke up early in the morning and started driving west. Had breakfast at a casino in Reno. Was in San Francisco by mid-afternoon.
I just read on Twitter that an undercover Hasidic cop cuffed a pickpocket on the subway.
Speaking of Reno, my first visit to a casino was there on Xmas when I was 14. We were snowed in, stayed the night in this casino hotel. My dad gambled (or just drank?), I read Kate Millett’s “Sexual Politics.” It was deeply scarring (the book). Later I discovered in Vegas that all casinos are like that — boring and depressing.
We saw a movie and I had chocolate-covered almonds for dinner.
“It is NOT a crap job. It is only jerks who don’t respect them. I respect them.”
Why? What’s to respect? Why does someone picking up trash earn respect? I read this as very patronizing.

I was in Reno on my teen tour – age 13. Had dinner at Pizza Hut and it was delicious. I enjoy the thin crust pizza and breadsticks there.

Actually the Chinese perfected that scam thousands of years ago with feng shui masters. Every new office opened in Hong Kong always paid the fee.
I want a mocha boy.
