Mr. Fall Down Terror posted:cities like london got so crowded that the thames river literally went stagnant and rotted, which lead directly to the birth of modern sewer engineering, because just crapping in pits or hoping the river would flush turds away wasn't cutting it anymore My favorite forgotten chapter of Les Miserables is where Victor Hugo muses on the enormous amount of human feces that just float out of Paris on the Seine, and how it could be put to use by being scooped up and repurposed as manure.

Isn't using human poo as fertilizer a bad idea, due to poo born disease?

nowadays yeah, but back then you'd have more contact with feces anyway and the removal/sale of feces to nearby farms as fertilizer was as good a waste disposal system as any

horse manure was also a huge crisis for late 1800s cities since horses were used for pretty much all goods transportation. for all the problems of the modern car centric city it at least beats having piles of horseshit everywhere

Mr. Fall Down Terror posted:increases in population during the early modern/industrial revolution greatly increased the volume of waste dumped in the river. in preindustrial london the population was lower, and a lot of waste-producing production (think leather tanning, pig slaughtering) was also displaced outside of the city. large, large pre-industrial cities are scarce for this reason, you need a high degree of local, natural 'waste management' capacity to deal with it all, as well as a lot of labor involved in literal poo poo-pit digging and poo poo haulage to deal with the human waste. most large pre-industrial cities have a robust underclass of people whose job it is to lug buckets of poo poo for dispersal/sale for nearby farmers, or just to dump it in a different river or hole It is true tho afaik that medieval cities usually had negative natural population growth due to diseases and would have shrunk without immigration from the countryside

It is one advantage asphalt has.

Most disputes probably begin and end with a cease and desist letter and a strongly worded threat of legal action. The police are an arm of the state meant to enforce judgement made by the courts, which is why you can't just declare bankruptcy like Michael Scott and just walk away from all your problems.

Some bigger police agencies have units that focus on counterfeit goods. I’m not sure where the line is there but it’s a crime based on intellectual property. For example: https://www.lapdonline.org/home/news_view/67293 “The seized counterfeit items included over 662,809 imitation hats, beanies, t-shirts, footwear and video games in violation of recorded and registered trademarks. If genuine, the seized merchandise would have had an estimated manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $7,101,164.00.”
