I despise these elitist games. They create the impression among the "haves" that they know all about homelessness because they played at being homeless for a few days. If they wanted to make it real, let the kids out on their own, and without a group of friends, with $5 in their pocket and just the clothes on their back. Tell them they'll be brought back sometime, but not tell them when.

Imagine a generation where the only contact with reality is fake. How are they going to even know what a saved world would be like?

Actually, they could make the "experience" a little more real. Take their house keys away and lock their doors until they earn their way back in with a security deposit and the first months rent.

I guess it could have been worse. They could have set up the 24-hour event like the Senate does a filibuster — a couple of hours each day until it adds up to 24 hours.
