If professors have to spend their time throwing away trash, it means less time for research and teaching. It is better for everyone to hire janitors to take out trash. That way they have a job. If this scheme succeeds, it will give the university an excuse to lay off the janitors, which will mean poverty and unemployment for them, instead of a good job.Alleged Wisdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08322172859028340221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947892804388166400.post-47160756939175312422010-04-14T04:20:13.906-04:002010-04-14T04:20:13.906-04:00I stalked down the source of this, I saw your post...I stalked down the source of this, I saw your post reblogged by Abbyolin and reblogged a response. I get this to you only to not be "talking trash (great pun amirite?) behind your back."<br />The original post (OP) was obviously not directed at you, nor did/do I know you. You are PHD, because you were referred to as "working on his PhD" and seem like a pretty huge dick to me.<br /><br />OP: http://jetanders.tumblr.com/post/520358828<br /><br />ITT: Econ prick needs to stop thinking econ pricks are better than everyone.<br />Abby Olin, your friend, PHD (pretty huge dick), needs to QQ.<br />Bold is for TL;DR people.<br />1. PHD is unaffected by this recycling/waste awareness project because how little PHD consumes, thus this project is a waste of time. Hey PHD, there are other people in the world who are not waste conscious. That’s what this project is meant to do: encourage others to think consciously about the waste they produce from consumption. Sorry not everyone in the world is as innately perfect as you, PHD.<br />2. PHD: “The people who come up with this kind of junk have zero respect for the time of others”; oh really PHD? I’m very sure PHD has “zero respect for the time of others,” consider janitors. It is hardly necessary to have trash-cans in every classroom (the trash out-put in a classroom is largely from snacks and soda, stuff that can be pocketed to be thrown away at the end of class). Minimizing the number of trashcans means less trash bags and less trash cans that the janitors clean up after and saves trash bags. Sure, a PHD won’t care about the janitor, but saving time with one thing helps out.<br />Someone would respond to this: “but janitor’s are paid to clean up trash! Professors are not paid to deal with trash!” (1) yes, but that does not mean you create more trash to make them clean up. (2) professors aren’t paid to consume shit at work and then make garbage, do it on your own time.<br />3. PHD thinks it takes 10 minutes to throw something out from an office. Seriously, what the fuck kind of trash are you throwing out? Also, I’m sure PHD wants to make it sound like PHD is thinking about other professors, but PHD cares ‘bout no one but PHD.Travis Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11111157850941114548noreply@blogger.com
