'Uber For Poop' Aims To Break Up Senegal's Toilet Cartel

quote:

If you want to hire a toilet sucker, you have to go to a parking lot behind Dakar's national football stadium, where all the drivers are just hanging out next to their idle trucks. When one of them gives you a price, you cannot walk around and try and get a better deal from the others.

Even though they're separate businesses, they have decided as an association not to compete and, instead, to keep prices high — usually $40-$60 a pop depending on the size of the tank — twice as high as paying Father Shovel to dig out the tank. For many people in Dakar, $50 can be a month's wages.

are you sure that's CO2, because last time i looked into this i thought it was CO2 as well but it turned out their CO2 emissions weren't higher than cars but their sulphur dioxide and other pollutant emissions were way way worse, and they were making more SO2 than every road vehicle combined or something

e: this paper says international shipping is only 3% of CO2 emissions, iirc cars are like 20%

ah, that makes sense. you’d think more emissions=more fuel burnt=more expensive, but if it’s cheap stuff to begin with that doesn’t have another use, then i guess it would be cheaper than better fuels.

Hmm. Personally I'm not comfortable using hate speech about something a person has no control over. You can hate someone for being a terrible person and doing terrible things, but not because of their sexuality, race, mental faculties, etc. Like I'm okay saying Elon Musk is a shitbag, but not saying all persons with X skin color are shitbags.
