Municipality of Raoued, you haven't won yet

It was Aid these past few days and trash has been quickly piling up, the trash cans are directly facing my house, so it's hard to ignore.

I have taken the car for a ride to try and see what other neighborhoods look like in a messy period such as this one, and surprisingly, out of the 4 neighborhoods I drove through (granted the sample size is rather small), mine is the only one where trash has piled up so much it had begun to take up significant portions of the road.

See for yourself:

That is what happens when garbage men and garbage trucks only care to pick up what's inside the trash cans and intentionally leave behind the exceptionally large volumes of trash on the ground, the sole reason for which they are on the floor is because of a lack of trash cans in the first place.

Yesterday the municipality of Raoued posted on Facebook priding themselves on cleaning up so many other neighborhoods that previously looked like mine as a result of their poor planning for the Aid.

How can I personally explain to myself, when I saw with my own two eyes when the garbage men clearly signaled to go, despite having left behind three times the volume of what they had picked up, that the reason for their decision isn't ultimately a clear example of the municipality's discriminatory behavior and a lack of fucks given if we (neighborhoods like mine) ever come to that realization.

When I saw them claiming victory on social media, I couldn't help but feel like the head of that municipality (whose name I could not find) thinks they're doing a good job, when in fact, it's quite the opposite, and that, friends, is so funny to me.

Clearly the municipality's president is sleeping pretty well at night, and that's kind of the purpose of these social media campaigns. It's just about them feeling good about themselves whether or not they are actually serving the city.
