So my pocket felt strangely bloated and I reach into it and pull out a boxcutter.
:I

Fucking hell, I was just caressing my face with that thing.
How did it even get in my hand. O-O
I have a poltergeist boxcutter.

Erm, can't somebody legally own a car and use it on private land, even if banned?
Yes, but I don't think they can legally have car insurance if banned.
Bingo. And in most states, you can't buy a car without proof of insurance.

And of course, there were unscrupulous insurance agents who didn't give a flying fuck about the law or public safety, they just wanted to make their sales quota.

No offense, but it doesn't take much to make salespeople look bad. At least you're not in marketing and advertising.

Pay as a garbageman > Pay as a teacher

Links to information?

Also, remember that:

1: Teachers only work for 1/2-3/4 of a year but most get payed year round.
2: Being a garbageman is not inherently a... Ah... Unskilled labor? It is a hard hard job after all.

It's basically the textbook definition of unskilled labor.

I am totally unsure why you think that. It looks like it would take a lot of skill.

Around here they have like 15 seconds to grab like 75 pounds of shit and put it away before they need to be to the next area. Some of the moves I have seen them pull are pure art.

Unless something has changed, cause I have not woken up that early in a pretty long time.

It is unskilled labor, but it also happens to be a job that nobody wants to fucking do.

We're clearly dealing with a kind of supply and demand here. The amount of teachers who want to work > the amount of people willing to be a goddamn garbage man, ergo the garbage men make more.

 Teachers are also in a weird position with unions and strikes and government programs. It makes sense with that much red tape not much of a salary gets through.
