We are going to soon be seeing Americans doing jobs that they supposedly won’t do. After high school graduation, just before heading off to college, I had a garbage job from the city. Yep, it was on the back of a trash truck. It was indeed very hard work and very smelly work, but I needed the money and did it. That is what Americans will do.

Additional note. I met one of the great characters ever during that job. His nickname was Dirty Red. He drove a rusty old Buick from the era of Broaddrick Crawford and Highway Patrol. I once saw him eat some cake out of a garbage can. The week before I started the job, he had fallen off the truck while going around a corner and got really scraped up. Without washing his hands and after scratching at some of his bloody sores, I watched him eat donuts during a coffee break. He was a classic.
