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... ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

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 ๐Ÿซ

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.

[โ€“] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

Im thinking what happens if the people that are not homeless sue the city for a lack of areas to sit down? Regular people. Tired people. People just waiting. Disabled people. Elderly. Pregnant. Etc

[โ€“] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Then that lawsuit will be paid with tax money, and the new benches will be of hostile design with extra spikes below them just to make sure the homeless won't come. Also they might "feel pressured" to employ a "security" guard that regularly kicks out the homeless in increasingly cruel fashion. For safety reasons, of course.

Doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, only that the current decision makers won't stop to be ass hats. They need their asses kicked.

Security guards because the cops are busy shooting at people that try to ride without a ticket.

[โ€“] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago

That may be how that altercation started, but it's pretty dishonest to say that's why they shot at him.

[โ€“] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 2 points 2 weeks ago

Tired people don't sue. They are too tired.

[โ€“] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

We add more benches.

[โ€“] PunnyName@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The fact that anyone disagreed with you is a sign of how problematic this country is.

The one that contains the NYC metro.
