[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw a big-law attorney furtively picking through a garbage can, presumably looking for scraps of food. When I said hello, he was startled and tried to pretend he was merely glancing into the can. #compassion #tacos[/quote]

No, not a troll. I wish I were. He was hungry and disheveled. That's Big Law, April 2020.[/quote]

I do not believe you.  I do not think anyone who is educated would do that now, not to mention a highly educated big law attorney, because he knows picking through a garage can will increase his chance of coronavirus exponentially.  You are still a troll.[/quote]

I saw it and I am not the only one. We know him. It was a sad sight. You are the troll. Where is your compassion for this hungry man?[/quote]

NP, I am not saying it is not possible for a former biglaw attorney (or anyone of any career) to reach a point of desperation.  But I think the idea that a biglaw attorney has been driven by a pandemic related job loss to trash picking in less than two months is preposterous absent preexisting (or sudden onset) mental illness, which would make it nothing to do with the pandemic and the state of biglaw.[/quote]

Well then you are wrong. We saw it, as did other passersby. He was eating garbage; foodstuffs-garbage, yes, but garbage just the same. That is a very telling portrait of Big Law, April 2020 (and of the desperation of hunger.)[/quote]

[b]I would like to know whether you are alleging that the dude was wearing a fancy suit and doing a little garbage diving for excitement or whether he was out there in slippers and a hoodie and a full beard etc.[/b][/quote]
