San Francisco’s city government spent $550,000 designing a new trash can through a four-year-long process which included a design contest and trial run, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

"Hmmmm...San Francisco...looks like the thing might perform oral sex if you put a quarter in it."

If there is a perverted use possible, San Francisco's honored homeless will figure it out.

A half a million dollars to design a trash can?

How stupid can they be?

[Drew68]

The city chose the model because it’s tamper-resistant, easy to clean and durable; the city’s public works website boasts that the design “make[s] rummaging more difficult” and that the stainless steel pipe construction leaves “less space for graffiti tags.”

From San Francisco's $1.7 million porta potty to these new $550k trash cans, every effort and expense needs to be designed in a manner to prevent San Francisco's own residents from intentionally destroying them.

A civilized society could enjoy cheap public restrooms and trash cans but not San Francisco.

Knowing a few, I bet they are.

Kickback $….hmmmm.

Here’s my prediction on that: They’ll just knock it over, and shake all the trash out onto the sidewalk, and go through it that way. (Unless it’s bolted to the ground, which would make it difficult to empty).

Anybody who cannot see the absurdity of this--and the absurdity of the entire woke/"liberal"/leftist/Democrat Party takeover of America--is hopelessly stupid--stupid and dangerous--and should not be allowed in any position of responsibility, including the vote or holding any position of responsibility.

Given the sad condition San Francisco is in, I wonder how many people would even bother to use a trash can. After all, if you can relieve yourself anywhere, why not just throw your trash anywhere?

Politicians spend money like it isn’t theirs.

by design.

GIVE them more time & they will PROVE just how stupid they can be.

Looks like an oversized iphone and custom metal case

The bass turds stole that design from Trump’s border fence.

I wonder why Daily Caller published it and put the date as Dec. 22, 2022?

[gathersnomoss]

Follow the contract.

[upchuck]

I’m trying real hard to reimage the trash can as it really will be: surrounded by mounds of feces and used drug needles.
