LA does the incredible stupid

They pretended the garbage system was pastel colors and fill in the lines disneyland thing. They really frigged up.

What the program actually did, though, is deliberately eliminate all competition for trash hauling. The program divides the city into 11 massive districts. Every commercial or apartment building in a district is served by a single trash hauler, and some of these haulers control multiple districts. The landlords and residents have no choice: If they want their trash picked up, they must do business with whoever gets the city contract.To land these contracts, the trash companies must meet a whole host of demands, including new natural-gas-powered trucks, city-determined "living wages" for employees, and labor peace agreements with local unions. The city also gets millions of dollars in franchise fees. All of this was clearly, obviously going to drive up the price of trash hauling in Los Angeles.

Same city council that invited million word wide to come to LA and get free medical care while voting three times.  is group, along with the Nurses' Union, invented the Kitten Video theory of economics. So, we are pretty much fried in California.
