[Black Mirror] In the world of "15 Million merits, why are the trash collector guys looked down at?

Why would you look down on someone who can walk around in slow pace and pick stuff up if the only thing you do the whole day is pedaling? I would definitely prefer the trash over the bicycle.

And do the trash collectors earn merits for their work aswell? If so, at the same rate as the people on the bicycles?

The cleaners aren't looked down on for being cleaners they're looked down on for being overweight and being a drain on their society, while the slim/fit people are riding their bikes they're generating power for their city which is something the overweight ones are unable to do so as efficiently or for as long.

The cleaners do earn merits as they need to be able to feed themselves and the society doesn't appear to give anything away for free but it's doubtful that they earn anywhere near the same as the cyclists as there'd be no reason for people to want to ride the bikes and there'd be more overweight people.
