With all that practice, X says the robots are actually getting pretty good at sorting, apparently putting less than 5 percent of trash in the wrong place (X's humans put 20 percent of trash in the wrong pile, according to X). That doesn't mean they're remotely ready to replace human janitors, though.

There are also additional costs associated with a network of support that surrounds the ride: you need to hire a mechanic to service your rollercoaster; you need some trash cans right outside the exit for people to puke in; you need janitors to sweep the path when people miss the trash can.

The latest data from 2018 show that 203 million non-elderly people — more than 8 percent of the population — don't have health insurance, and some of the professions with the highest uninsured rates are the people we're relying on most to get us through this crisis, including sales workers and truck drivers, cashiers, janitors, and, yes, grocery clerks.

Ana Tinsly, a spokeswoman for the Florida chapter of 32BJ SEIU union, which serves property service workers, told the Miami New Times, "The plátanito protest is to illustrate the absurdity of someone spending tens of thousands on a banana taped to a wall in a city where janitors earn so little they can't afford to feed their families."

That the broader social order had unraveled long before, once the surrounding corridors of Midtown were given over to towers with $40 million apartments, many sitting empty, wasn't necessarily obvious to people who seemed less terrified of the dark-money billionaires living around the corner than of the coming janitors and fast-food workers locked out of New York's forbidding rental market.

"Providing tens of thousands of workers with family-supporting benefits, healthcare coverage, parental leave and a $15 minimum wage is a huge win for the thousands of janitors, food service workers, shuttle bus drivers and other contract workers who organized protests, petitions and walkouts over past few years," Maria Noel Fernandez, campaign director for advocacy group Silicon Valley Rising, told CNN Business in a statement.

Hence, movement apologists such as Amity Shlaes, Peggy Noonan, Pat Buchanan, David Horowitz, and Peter Collier look to rewrite the nation's past, back through the Reagan years, the Sixties and the Kennedys, the Great Depression and the 1920s—even our victory in World War II. All in the cause of an increasingly bizarre, utopian vision of a sort of anarcho-corporate state—one in which pretty much everyone will be armed and able to threaten each other into politeness and nonviolence; miraculously reconstituted extended families will eradicate the need for Social Security and Medicare; poor children will work as janitors to pay for their schooling; tax cuts will generate enough income to offset the need for subsidized health care; public property will be largely eliminated; and no regulations of any kind will apparently be required to keep our food, water, air, money, or medicine safe or to determine how the public will shape its own towns and cities.
