Recycling workers around the world are just so grateful for neoliberal capitalist largesse & creativity in providing them work at dumps picking through stinking rot. This man in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti expresses his heartfelt gratitude with the international symbol of gratitude.

Capitalism is just an inexhaustible source of creativity. It puts feudalism to shame on that score. Here, for example, in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. Under neoliberalism, the barbaric phase of capitalism, waste management is considered an unaffordable luxury for cities. So they transport tons of it to countries they’re trying to re-colonize to provide work for the legions of unemployed who earn a few bucks a day scavenging through animal poop, dirty diapers, rotting food, swill to find plastic & other recyclables. Now isn’t that creative!? Such barbarism could only have been thought of under capitalism.
