Garbage removalists are part of a greater system of removing waste from cities so that it does not build up and contaminate water supplies (water-borne disease being one of the leading causes of death worldwide), block drains and sewers during heavy rainfall causing flooding in urban areas, or attract and harbour insect and/or animal populations who carry dangerous diseases e.g. the plague, for starters. And that's on top of how hugely gratifying it is not to have to sit around surrounded by your own stinking, rotting, putrefying, fermenting waste.

So, as part of that greater system, I would say that the people who remove our garbage goddamn do save the lives, as well as sanity of millions. (You have my respect, garbage removalist anon.)

This, so fucking much.

I am so sick of this arbitrary standard by which some (absolutely critical) jobs are disregarded and others are worshipped to the high heavens, although they sure as fuck have done everything in their power to no longer deserve it (lookin' at you LEOs).

Just want to say that I respect police officers for the job they do too.

I think some of the problem here is not understanding how division of labour works in society - that most jobs depend on other jobs to be done properly, or contribute to the economy and generate tax revenue so other jobs can be paid, and so on.

The other problem is that we are in a community made up of people who create communities around pieces of media that more often than not create an idealised, lone-hero-esque narrative out of certain jobs like law enforcement, being a doctor, being a lawyer, being a politician. It's not that people in those professions don't do great work, just that they're not the only type of jobs that are worthwhile and each part of a greater system that allows them to do their work. Also, just like in any pocket of society, some of those people are absolute rotters.

Where are the TV shows about teachers? Garbage removalists? Charity workers? Social workers? Palliative care workers? People who design ergonomic chairs? Bureaucrats who write policy that changes lives? The business woman who makes changes in her company so all her workers' rights are protected? Or just the guy who works steadily for decades, paying his taxes on time, looking after his family, being involved in his community and generally being an awesome citizen? Nowhere, because it's hard to make exciting TV about them, so we get another show about vigilante detectives with magical healing powers and a dark past. But that doesn't mean they should be forgotten e.g. by the original anon of this thread.
