DP Dot Com “Trickonomics” (c)

dp bizcards

I didn’t respect the fact that my technique for measuring the complex word count in rap songs would be such a resounding success in rap nerd circles so I probably don’t even realize the number of politicians and their economists that will attach themselves to my economic theories either.

Let’s face it, DP Dot Com social theories are tried and tested through years of use of non-prescribed hallucinogens. A veritable acid test I might say if you don’t mind (puns always welcome here). But I digress…

The idea I am presenting to you now is actually more of an environmental consideration than it is from an economic standpoint. Although as we elevate our thinking I hope we realize the symbiotic relationship of a healthy environment and a healthy economy.

Peep this lineup of discarded coffee cups…

cups

These cups find themselves here because they do. This is the nature of a city with upwards of 10million people having access to it every single day. However, these cups will remain here almost indefinitely because the neighborhood is one of mostly vacant industrial use buildings. Place these same discarded cups in a tony, residential neighborhood and what do we get?

Art.

cups

If not art, then they have at least become money, because they turn into work. Someone is going to have to clean that shit up. The wealthy neighborhoods form co-operatives and collectives that supplement the city’s services. By littering in wealthy neighborhoods you are creating jobs for street cleaning personnel, because there is no way some rich folks are going to allow that garbage to remain on their sidewalks overnight.

Think about it, because I haven’t.

    The real question is: How many of those cups have pee in them?

    Another thing is….

    There is no way in hell some rich person is going to voluntarily pick up that trash themselves.

    True ish. I extinguish my cloves in a few places…where are they always removed from? The area by the swanky apartments downtown.

    Coffee cups are the new cigarette butts. If you peep, I believe there is a major correlation between the demise of indoor smoking and the upswing in coffee consumption in America. I remember coming up that coffee was an “old peoples beverage”. Now they got pre-teens jacked up on frappachinos, its actually quite sickening. Dallas I’m going to say that even an inkling in to the fascination of the proliferation of coffee related litter falls under the “If Its All White Its All Right” paradigm in my book. Because if there was a spike in Tropical Fantasy bottles littering the five boroughs best believe the 50 cents sodas in the hood would get ’em crazy…

    as I am now a rich white mother f___er living in a trump dump I have to agree that the upper west side is much cleaner than hells kitchen. dont have to dodge dog and bum crap on the sidewalk. the doormen keep their domains clean and crime free. but it feels so lame. and i know i sure ain’t pickin up the trash. cleaner chuck taylors – yeah

    I always find coffee cups and water bottles to be popular. White always have some sort of water bottle in their bag or hand. when its on the NYC street, they always have a little bit of water in them. I know it couldnt be kneegrows because some of us prefer sugarwater. at times i feel like a 3rd worlder kicking the bottle around as if im imagining myself on a soccer field.

    sidebar:
    I always find coffee drinkers to have the hottest breath on the planet. To smell that rank funk first thing in your day makes my eyes water.
