Over at Stella’s Place she mentioned the Poop Patrol in San Francisco. It has salary and benefits worth $184,687. The article from Zero Hedge reveals the following figures.
A $72.5 million-a-year street cleaning budget
$12 million a year on what essentially have become housekeeping services for homeless encampments
$2.8 million for a Hot Spots crew to wash down the camps and remove any biohazards
$2.3 million for street steam cleaners
$3.1 million for the Pit Stop portable toilets
$364,000 for a four-member needle team
An additional $700,000 set aside for a 10-member, needle cleanup squad, complete with its own minivan
This article, combined with some deragatory comments I saw on Quora a few weeks ago made me reflect a little bit. This is from my comment over at Stella’s.
No joke at all, I’m betting that 180,000 plus dollars in SF would not come close to giving me the standard of living I enjoy in my dot on the map that elites turn their noses up at.

They make fun of us flyover types but let me tell you we use indoor plumbing.
What’s the problem? To make the city green again you need fertilizer.
“needle team”
A truly sad commentary on the state of our society.
I have what they can never have in their fifth floor apartment on a bustling noise filled street. I have very fresh air, cold and absolutely delicious well water, the likes of which I’ve never tasted anywhere else. I have a bajillion trees surrounding me, every night I see thousands of real stars, not city lights.
I get to see lots of deer, turkey, and we won’t even count the horses, cows, goats, sheep, and ducks and geese that I still find nice to be neighbors with. Sometimes the donkey across the road brays and it always makes me smile. Last year for about three months we had some kind of cat who came around and yowled at night, came through about every three weeks. My favorite thing is watching the hawks fly right through the trees, somehow zigging and zagging and swooping through the woods ..........
For every satisfied liberal who really looks down on those of us who choose not to live our lives in the city, I simply can’t think of anything at all I’d want to add to my life.

The big one will process the libs (and their poop) quite nicely.
And states will hopefully enforce borders so that we are not Californicated afterwards.
Who wants to go to school to become a POOP PATROLMAN!
[cut to commercial]
“Hi Honey, I’m home”
“How was your day sweetie”
“Great - we had 3 diarrhea’s and a total colon blow on 53rd street!”
“That’s wonderful. now go wash up for dinner.”
[end]
Government careers in a nutshell.
How about they spend $1 million and have a series of commercials saying “CLEAN UP IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE or BUSINESS OR GET FINED AND GO TO JAIL”
The people would take care of the “homeless problem” themselves, in a week.
Frankly, I’m surprised they can’t find enough coprophiliacs willing to do the job for free.
It’s Sh!tty job...............
It’s Sh!tty job...............
It is a crappy job.

Yes, but being a nurseryman here, you gotta let that poop get a little old before you can use it. And by the way, urine (about 1 to 8 water) is great for your flowers in the gardens.
“By the way, the poop patrolers earn $71,760 a year, which swells to $184,678 with mandated benefits.”
Give this some thought...
My uncle worked in a Sunbeam bakery almost his entire life. He’d come home in the evening, dressed in his bakery “whites”, bearing the sweet aroma of the day’s baked bread...

LOL ...... you're thinking too clearly.
Meanwhile... The burger flipper over at the fast food palace is overheard lamenting the fact that everything he/she/it does turns to sh!+...
A few years ago, my daughter told me that she was accosted by a bum in a Walgreen parking lot. She almost pepper sprayed him.
I called the store manager to let him know that the bums were getting aggressive toward his customers.
He said “next time, drop him.”
She was looking forward to the opportunity but it never happened. That’s how you deal with these idiots.
There was a small Obamaville in my town. It was on private land that was tied up in probate so there was no real owner so no trespass charge could be laid. The mayor and police chief were very clear that citizens were not to feed the animals or bring them blankets or warm clothes. They were encouraging them to leave and we finally successful.
