I think this was depicted in that grim movie, Soylent Green.

This is more common than one would think. In the garbage business it happens all winter long. Every other commercial front load bin has someone sleeping in it. Especially the cleaner cardboard recycle bins because they try to use cardboard to insulate themselves from the cold. We used to always pick them up a bit, shake them, and wait for a few to see if hands pop up out of the bin. And in the summer every other bin you lifted has someone sleeping behind it so that they are out of sight.

That happened a few times when I lived in Alaska — people camping out in dumpsters. Sad.

This doesn't always work. Apparently.

Really? you’re fine with not checking first when a life might be at stake? Remind me to never go hunting with you.

You'd be surprised at how quickly these people pi$$ away their fortunes.

Remember Rodney King, who was awarded $3.8 million by the city of Los Angeles?

King was subject to further arrests and convictions for driving violations after the 1991 incident, as he struggled with alcoholism and drug addiction. In May 1991, he was arrested on suspicion of having tried to run down an undercover vice officer in Hollywood, but no charges were filed. In 1992, he was arrested for injuring his wife, Crystal King. Crystal ultimately declined to file a complaint. On August 21, 1993, he crashed his car into a block wall in downtown Los Angeles. He was convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol, fined, and entered a rehabilitation program, after which he was placed on probation. In July 1995, he was arrested by Alhambra police after hitting Crystal with his car and knocking her to the ground during a fight. King had previously been arrested twice on suspicion of abusing her. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail after being convicted of hit and run.

By the time he died, he was so broke that friends had to raise money for his funeral. Most of us could have taken that settlement money, invested in a 5% annuity and had a $190,000 income for life without ever touching the principal.

That’s odd; here in NJ they just sleep inside the clothing donation boxes (cleaner, warmer).

It amazed and amazes me the types of people the Marxist inspired left riot for.
