Inchiestona di Pro Publica su una delle aziende che svuotano i cassonetti di New York (il servizio è appaltato ad aziende private). Non soltanto perché è interessante leggerlo, ma perché vi dà anche la misura di come sia fatta un'inchiesta.
Money quote: "An investigation by Voice of America and ProPublica, drawing on thousands of pages of public documents and interviews with more than a dozen current and former workers, depicts a workplace environment in which concerns about safety, as well as workers’ rights and compensation, are flouted despite years of complaints from workers to regulators.
Records show that more than three-quarters of Sanitation Salvage trucks have been ordered off the road after federal safety checks. Yet the company has paid lobbyists to fight local legislation that backers say would compel haulers to improve on working conditions and safety.
The Department of Labor several years ago found that Sanitation Salvage had cheated workers out of hundreds of thousands of dollars in wages. Today, the New York State Insurance Fund is suing the company for $780,000 in unpaid workers’ compensation insurance obligations for on-the-job injuries."

It begins with a test-tube of spit and ends with fractional estimates: a story, whispered by an algorithm, in the language of information.”
