Roman Trash Corruption

After half a year in a place you start to notice some defects.

Rome has way too many garbage men (and women). You see them all day, every day, in the same place, doing the same thing! and the city is not any the cleaner for it!

I know of no other city in the world that has so many civil servants dedicated to taking out the trash and so ostentatiously. It appears that they want to let you know that they are here! and doing very little!

Furthermore, they consolidate their trash, at least in my neighborhood, every day, in the largest piazza of the neighborhood, of all places! (The above picture in the Imperial Piazza Farnese where they stay for at least an hour or two each day).

Two suggestions.

--Two-thirds of them should be fired immediately.

--The remaining workers should focus on being more efficient (they should be seen maximum once a day for no longer than fifteen minutes (and usually only passing by) in any location, and never parked in a piazza! Please! A little discretion with your smelly, noisy trash! Take it out but don't show it off!

That alone would probably solve the Italian (and European) economic crisis!
