Check out this latest in brilliant government thinking. Remember, people just like this control your healthcare now.

Talk turned to trash at the Hennepin County Government Center this week when surprised employees discovered their standard-size garbage cans replaced by tiny new ones.
“I wasn’t sure whether it was a toy or a marketing tool,” said Mark Thompson, Hennepin County District Court administrator, of the diminutive cans, which appeared in offices and courtrooms Monday morning.
The recycled-plastic, quart-size containers are neither. Designed to encourage less trash-making and more recycling, they limit what employees can toss before they have to dump the collection into a bigger can down the hall. On the side of each can is written, “This is all the GARBAGE I make!”
Not only do the miniature trash cans save the planet, but they also decrease the burden on our soon to be nationalized healthcare system by forcing the bureaucrats to get more exercise.
Employees are told to empty the cans at a centrally located receptacle on their floor. “This short walk will help the county save money, stay healthy and protect the environment,” said an informational flier given to workers.

  1. I guess they follow Moochelles advice and drink more water every day, too. Workers will walk to the bathroom 10 times a day, now. With all this walking going on, when is any damn work going to get done???
