'They cleaned up San Francisco.
For a week.
The city brought in thousands of police officers to "clear" homeless camps
around the Moscone Center where world leaders gathered to talk about the future
of the planet. You don't have to think long about why they did it. The
president of China was coming. It would make the U.S. look awfully bad to make
Xi Jinping wade through a sea of jobless drug addicts.
If you've ever paid attention to the country's homeless problem, you know what
goes on when the police "clear" these camps. They toss people in jail. They
throw all of their belongings in the trash. Those belongings include everything
from identification documents they spent months obtaining to laptops, along
with bicycles and work clothes. Yes, the homeless often have jobs. They don't
make enough to afford the astronomical rent. When they get out of jail, they
find out they were fired. They've lost everything.
They have to start over.
Imagine being homeless, and having all of your stuff thrown away so the U.S.
can present the appearance of prosperity to world leaders. While you're in
jail, losing your job and everything you own, your president brags about how
well everything's going. I bet it would make you angry. It's the kind of thing
dictators of undeveloped countries do.
Now for something completely different.
Today, I read an article about a new trend in the tech sector. A piece in
Business Insider calls it overemployment.
It's the new passive income.'
