This has had actually been in the works for a while, it’s not like he just materialized this out of nowhere.
But, it has been constantly getting delayed and put through “trials”. So, it actually getting implemented is good.
The best part is seeing idiots who want any excuse to attack a DSA politician trying to argue that loose trash bags are better than dumpsters. Like, trying to make the concept of dumpsters a culture war issue is hilarious.
Why on earth do you need to trial putting things in a bin?
Especially when 99% of their 'culture war' audience (who of course don't live in NYC) already use trash bins and dumpsters in their everyday lives.
"why aren't they burning the trash"
