Pendaur ulang sampah memeriksa tumpukan sampah di tempat pembuangan sampah untuk kardus, plastik, dan logam, yang mereka jual saat bekerja shift 12 jam di Lujan, pada pinggiran Buenos Aires, Argentina. Kisah sedih mulai muncul satu persatu di Argentina akibat lonjakan inflasi yang tak terkira, menuju 100% tahun ini. Banyak pekerja serabutan yang kini jatuh ke lubang kemiskinan ekstrem, diantaranya menjadi pemulung sampah untuk sekadar bisa makan, atau antre di pasar barter untuk menukarkan barang-barang yang tersisa untuk hidup. REUTERS/Agustin Marcarian
