The rubbish man comment was used as a literary device to place Mr Rhyner in the shoes of his British doppelganger, I actually have never had a problem with the fact that Mr Rhyner worked for Municipal Waste, Im also sure that he was good at his job and deservedly compensated, and makes the most of his generous retirement. What I have a philosophical problem with is his never ending hypocracy regarding anybody else who get up and go to work every morning and do their "jobs" whether represented by organized labor or not. Consistantly opining that people are not doing a "worthwhile job" or are overcompensated,or unionized is simply audacious.
