    reminds me of the time when an artist, protesting defending architecture, created a public park bench with spikes that would retract for a little while if you inserted money in - a commentary on intentionally not allowing the homeless places to sleep comfortably.

    then people came along and were like “that’s amazing, can you install them in my park?”.

    someone would look at this and go “i see an opportunity to use this on someone! if they’re stuck here turning crank and they can’t afford to stop…adverts, paid promotions…etc”

      I didn’t know about that. That’s just horrible.

    Best part is that since your minimum wage doesn’t change, this idea can be relevant for many generations to come

    It should also drop $100 bills out the back side, into the lap of a fat dude in a top hat smoking a cigar.

      Look, I’m fat and I smoke cigars. I don’t hate the homeless but I promise I can change if there’s money involved.
