A lot of people give a fuck about the homeless, you're just projecting. They are human beings with lives, friends, and families.

I'm pretty sure that they say that they would feel a certain way if they were in your position too, and it would be just as speculative.

Which means they deserve a job that makes them feel good about themselves and nurtures them as humans beings.

A lot of people with homes don't have that.

I'm not sure if sub-minimum wage wandering appliance is that job.
Begging on the street certainly isn't.

The dichotomy here isn't between "Be a Wi-Fi antenna" or "Be a respectable middle-class office worker"; it's "Be a Wi-Fi antenna" or "Be a homeless person without the Wi-Fi antenna income".

If you're self-employed, you're not subject to the minimum wage laws.
