They've recently hired McKinsey to conduct a 20 week study on the viability of containerization on the varying street sizes of Manhattan, and what that might look like [0]. My guess: they settle upon some aesthetically loud behemoth of a trash container that's neither well-functioning nor beautifying, and approve an attendant increase in the sanitation department's budget to deal with the new responsibility. But at least it will be better than the status quo ex ante.

I mean, do I have to say anything else? The joke writes itself.

Idk - are you saying paying your cronies to do a $200,000 / week to study of trash cans is doing something, or not doing something?
I'm sorry, I'll only be answering that question once you signed the contract for my consultancy services, billed at $400 an hour.
If you did a comedy show with zingers like this, I'd turn up.
