Let homeless people have benches and public restroom access, it's the absolute bare minimum we can do.
Can we though? Are you thinking of the shareholders at all?!? Someone's going to have a tough time having only 4 holiday homes to choose from... 😬
JUST 4? ARE YOU INSANE?
First of all two of those are under a cold front right now, and one of them is having maintenance done in the West courtyard (noisy from 3pm-3:30pm if you are within 6 bedrooms of it, which I assure you, we won't be) and the fourth one we were just at 2 years ago so it's a little much to vacation there again that soon.
Please think before you speak.
My apologies and condolences for any tribulations my thoughtfulness may have bestowed upon you. In my haste to protect my interests and that of my colleagues, i spoke before fully considering the gravity of my statements 🫠
My people will contact your people for an appropriate settlement.
Generally the only thing I think about shareholders is feeding them into a grinder feet first.
As a shareholder I can tell you the ones you could have reason for sending to the guillotine are mostly companies
Only the very worst of the super wealthy investors and the companies are pressing for maximum income now which is what wrecks and/or enshittifies businesses
The fact that anyone disagreed with you is a sign of how problematic this country is.
"this country"
Which?
The one that contains the NYC metro.
The problem is this only works in areas where the homeless aren't a majority of drug addicts. In North America this is infeasable they will piss and leave syringes everywhere. This just creates avoidable work for the people cleaning out this stuff.
If only we would think of things to help house the homeless, instead of seeing them as a nuisance.
Then you don't want to remove benches. You want, at very least, some kind of shelter system, Supervised Injection Sites, and an adequate social security and healthcare system to support those that are ready to quit their addiction.
Removing the benches from public transport stations just spreads out the problem.
Oh no! You mean the city will have to employ more janitors?!? The horror!!
It's so fucking annoying when people say shit like this as if other countries (even some cities in the US) haven't had this figured out for years at this point. Do like the minimum amount of research.
