If this was a Disney movie, the “homeless” encampment would be populated by a properly diverse group of eccentric yet wise geniuses who just couldn’t fit into normal society. They would befriend the school children, give them sage advice about their interpersonal issues with friends and family, and help them with their science projects. At least one of the homeless would be a Wise Latina who dispenses motherly advice to the children.
Into this idyllic arrangement would intrude some huffy, prejudiced local official (Republican no doubt) who would seek political advantage by demonizing the homeless geniuses and trying to get their encampment removed to “protect the children”.
A plucky little girl (the star of the movie) from the school and her friends would organize a “Save The Encampment” movement and do funny things with dogs and balloons to garner attention of local and national “news” broadcasters. His attention so garnered, the wise Governor (Democrat no doubt) would step in, preserve the encampment, and give all the bums better tents and a medal each for “helping children”.
The End.
I clicked “Post” one time, so help me. Then there was the spinning circle of death for about a minute, while I touched nothing, and then this. Go figure.
Spot on!
