Comment on If a 2M employee return to work order is declared soon, I could see us in the US finding ourselves with tent cities full of white collar workers.

  Confiscate? They are getting it back at some point? Because in Montreal and North America in general, the police just treat homeless people’s stuff like radioactive trash. They just clear the place with machinery and put all the stuff in a trash container.

  Some homeless people here have lost ID cars and important documents because once the police decides the camp is gone, the homeless can’t go back to get their stuff. Its just all going to the dump, with everything inside.

    A man in Atlanta was recently killed because he was inside a tent as a front end loader ran over him while the city was clearing the encampment which was in a parking lot near MLK’s church. They were clearing because of expected crowds on MLK day.

      Fucks sake, not surprising and it’s even worse because it is not surprising.
