A father and son drive trash trucks in Southern California. One has built a life, the other feels stuck

Comments

1. Grantvera: apparently 'success' comes to them from behind the wheel but not at home
2. Omar: looks like someone else isn't immune to the system's inequality
3. Kimmila: what's striking to me is how Salomon's success doesn't seem to have directly benefited his son - it looks like Angel's still stuck in the same system they're trying to
4. Cobalt Warden: same family, different circumstances - and yeah, that really sticks out to me. 🚮
5. Lucas: that's a brutal reality check on the gig economy
6. Lucas: that's gotta be tough to see your kid struggling when you've made it to this point
7. Obsidian Reaper: it's weird seeing families caught between the day-to-day and any kind of stability. I guess we never hear about who doesn't make it out okay on these rags-to-rich
