Every person eating out of a dumpster is a failure of the system. How has our economy not incentivized creating a method yet to maximize the wealth we could be extracting from these people?? We could slap a simple coin op slot onto those dumpsters and operate them like an unregulated vending machine. We could come up with a subscription model to allow monthly access to eating out of them. We could even figure out some form of alternative decentralized money system to get around FTC regulations and pesky labor laws on how we pay and receive the money from these homeless people. Capitalism is the greatest economic system ever created and we need to find a place in it for the homeless to contribute their fair share to the shareholders.
Exactly! I've also had it with these homeless people thinking they can just place an encampment wherever without paying someone. Don't they know free stuff is communism actually? I know the police clears them out once in a while, but that also costs valuable taxpayer money! Instead, why don't we rent them spots under bridges, and in return the police leave them alone? /s obviously
