I was wondering who serves as the garbage men and sewer workers in Galt's Gulch? Even free, technologically gifted supermen produce human waste.

If you want to see a city breakdown quickly, stop the pickup of garbage. While it's been many, many years since I read Atlas Shrugged, I believe that he was getting everyone who society depended on and who was good at what they did. But I could be wrong.

The only reason things break down quickly during garbage strikes is because the union thugs prevent, through sabotage, intimidation, and threats, anyone from doing the work that they are refusing to do.
