Because of a garbage haulers strike, no one noticed the effect of so many stinky bodies assembled in one large city like NYC. The strike was broken by hippie mobsters (not SDRR, Inc), and garbage men who hadn’t had their heads beaten, went back to work. When tourism dropped sharply due to the stench of hippies, local government passed laws banning SDRR, Inc members from meeting anywhere away from public toilets , the only places in NYC that stink worse than hippies.
