Pay People To Do Stuff

Yes, yes, just a broken record, here, but there are really plenty of things you can pay people to do. At this point paying people to dig holes and fill them again would be better than not doing so, but fortunately we can find things for people to do that are at least of marginally more value. In the urban hellhole there isn't street cleaning in most places, in part because the city has decided not to pay for it and in part because many neighborhood residents prefer trashy streets to having to move their cars occasionally. Now, maybe the city is correct and it isn't really worth paying for, that people would prefer to have lower taxes or spend their tax money on other things. But it still has some value. And if we started handing out $1000 platinum coins in exchange for a couple of weeks of street cleaning I'm sure there would be some takers.
