This was always a stupid and demoralizing argument. As if Americans are too proud or lazy to not do something. My trash gets picked up regularly by dudes willing to hold onto the sides of a fucking truck. Ain’t no job every American “refuses” to do, to such a degree the country can’t function without a bunch of illegal Mexicans. Not to mention the Mexicans that are here legally or were born and raised here would still be willing to do those jobs.
To go further, nobody wants to work most jobs. That’s why we get paid.
Where I have lived the guy driving the truck does, while the newer workers who hold onto the truck and toss the garbage in it make next to nothing(the times I've lived somewhere it wasn't a fully automated wheely bin), but potentially can move up to driving the truck.

Doesn't a trash man earn a decent wage, though?
Its a union job, so it most certainly does.

The national average is 41k a year and usually with state benefits.
It's just mouth noises so they can keep their $6 gardener and their $11 nanny.
