While I understand why people protest in the street, it really doesn't do all that much... Perhaps there should be another term we use for large, permitted street gatherings, like an 'awareness campaign' or something.
I thought protests are supposed to be illegal, as you're purposely disobeying a rule to show how ridiculous/unjust it is.
This is also a s flawed take. Why does everyone want to buy? Years of propaganda and lobbying eliminated any possible alternatives. The USA was covered in rail and tram tracks in urban areas, most of which was removed and replaced with automobile infrastructure.
With the limited research I just did on my phone, I didn't see all this abundant evidence of trash piles.
I did learn about Middens, which were sort of trash piles. But they were mostly filled with shells, animal bones, and excrement, which seems more like a compost heap than a landfill.
Also, they were made predominantly by a few nomadic tribes. There are even other animals that make these "middens" like squirrels and octopi.
If you consider broken pottery and broken combs as garbage, then sure, it's a landfill. I can also say that the broken pottery is just a pile of dried clay pieces that were put back on the ground.
Bones, rocks, and other organic matter put on the ground hardly makes a place a landfill. Otherwise every cemetery, quarry, or a pile of pretty much anything is considered a landfill.
Tbf, I was calling it 3rd world country with iPhones. Although I'm pretty sure the USA was one of the countries that invented the terms "1st/2nd/3rd world countries" as a way of dividing themselves from the brown poors
Prison industrial complex goes brrrrrr
