    Those Taylor Swift concerts have been booked for an entire year. In all that time the city has failed those people, and suddenly they want to shove them away. This isn’t a Taylor Swift problem and it isn’t a Superbowl problem.

      Well you see, the government can’t provide bare necessities for all people even though it’s cheaper than putting homeless people in prison because if they did, then the rich people would lose their precious reserve army of labor, and how else are they going to convince people to work for less under worse conditions?

        “We thought about your idea of not letting rich people make the world worse. But that’s where profit comes from, and we prefer money to people, so we’re just going to put you in prison, instead.”

      Now expand this to every city in the U.S., and many in other parts of the world, a few days before a big event where a bunch of people from out of town get there.

      It’s constantly happening.

      I’m glad it’s been stopped this time (at least for now).

      Yeah but also, those homeless people should be kept safe from drunk people and drunk drivers. They can get crowd crushed too.
