after they do this, you'll explain to newcomers to the city that they used to just pile trash on the sidewalk and they'll think you're fucking with them and telling an obviously made-up tall-tale
hugely corny moment when everyone very solemnly sang the national anthem then Magyar left and We Are The Champions started playing from the speakers and honestly: everyone loved it, if now isn't the time to be corny then when is

I don’t want to know that certain sentence structures are a “tell”! this is all a giant waste of my attention and intelligence with no meaningful societal benefits and I hate it!
You're a rent seeker It's an economist insult. It's devastating. You're devastated right now.
Robert E. Lee got his ass beat at Gettysburg by a professor of rhetoric and oratory from Bowdoin College and generations of reactionary fantasists have died mad about it.
