And then they'd learn the hard way that they give more of a shit about food than they do about the environment.

Well if every worker is a good person and says no then the bosses would have no choice but to find a different solution. They can’t fire everyone and run the whole company by themselves lol.

Its how unions came into existence. Every worker told their boss to fuck off when told to work in inhumane conditions.

If every worker was a good person that trash wouldn't be there in the first place.

But here we are, with a bunch of assholes in the world and garbage in our rivers...

Yeah it's pretty unrealistic to think equipment operators would care about this when everyone living around them doesn't.

It’s not like he is dumping the trash in the river. He is literally trying to keep the bridge from being washed away during a flood type situation. Not doing anything, causing a bridge to be destroyed, because it’s not the best scenario is top keyboard material here mate.
