…and into homes, right?
…right?
Just teach them Python and the rest will work itself out.

Maybe a reference to the whole Kamala Harris debacle of telling everyone whose jobs were becoming obsolete to “learn to code”? 🤷
I mean, I’m switching from a soon to be automated job, to specializing in automation…lol
Your former colleagues must be real happy with you lol
You either keep up with the times or get steamrolled by it. As an individual, you’ll never stop the March of time. It’s best to keep improving yourself and learning new things and jumping ship when need be
As a kid, the Olympics was a fun thing to look forward to. Now whenever I see my city/country applying for anything similar, I’m up in arms
It used to be something good back in ancient Greece, before we had the need to make a supershow out of fucking everything and each time trying to one up the last in pyrotechnics and gimmicks
Wasn’t ancient Olympics a supershow of their time?
Sure, but supershows tended to be less wasteful back when there wasn’t so much to waste I guess
It might have been badly worded by me. I know that the Olympics were bad when I was young. I was just naive
Even as a kid i didn’t really get it. I liked to watch the best off they showed on tv or when someone broke a world record or something. I thought that’s what the Olympics are. Then one day my friend asked me if i wanted to watch the winter Olympics and i was excited. Just to sit there for hours just watching the most boring thing i have ever seen. And that was before i even knew about the steroid hypocrisy and uow scummy it is
I think London 2012 may have been the only Olympics in my lifetime that wasnt some kind of humanitarian travesty.
Ah yes, the Olympics season, the time when we can trample human rights the most and hurt our most vulnerable.
The ancient curse proclaiming that the Olympics must suck or the host country will descend into war continues.
Out of sight, out of mind. Am I right?!
Ah yes, the ol’ “Just push them somewhere else” tactic
“Out of sight, out of mind” or something like that
Doesn’t this happen every Olympics?

A miracle!

Hm.
Happened in Vancouver as well
They did this in Vancouver for the 2010 Olympics.
I was living in Vancouver at the time, it was kind of surreal. Now I’m living in one of the northern towns they shipped them to… it’s surreal in a different way.
I’m from Vancouver, and the way the homeless were treated pre Olympics was, if you’ll pardon the language, a goddamn fucking disgrace. Only a bit worse than the rest of the time, to be fair, but it really solidified my dislike of the systems in place there.
I’m really at a loss for what good the Olympics bring to humanity. Really just seems to fuck over thousands of people every 4 years.
The Olympics are a great way to help build unity and promote friendly competition between otherwise adversarial nations. In theory. In practice it’s an economic dick-measuring contest and a way for authoritarian shitholes to get good PR.
That’s the way, really great. Some day we will be judged by our posterity of how we treated the weak and poor .
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In spite of the government’s denial of any connection to the Olympics, which Paris will host in the summer of 2024, some non-governmental organizations and elected officials believe the Games are part of the reason why this relocation plan has been recently activated.
He now has a full-time job in Paris but, even after so many years in the city, he has not been able to find permanent accommodation, largely due to extremely high rental costs in the capital and very limited availability of more affordable social housing.
Ahead of next year’s Olympic Games, hotels in Paris have started canceling their emergency housing contracts with the government to make space for the expected influx of tourists, according to Paul Alauzy from Medecins Du Monde, an NGO that works with homeless migrants.
In a televised interview Sunday, French President Emmanuel Macron insisted France was doing its part to help the migrants that arrive on Europe’s shores, spending, among other things, around 2 billion euros each year on emergency accommodation for homeless people.
“The approach of major sporting events – firstly, to a lesser extent, the Rugby World Cup in 2023, and then the Olympic Games in 2024 – means that we have to think ahead and anticipate the situation, thanks to a policy of de-cluttering,” he said.
Manzi, of Utopia 56, thinks the relocation effort could be a good idea in principle, but says the problem is that the regional shelters will only house people for three weeks, according to the cities tasked with hosting them, and what happens after that remains uncertain.

In the end its all about money and greed under capitalism and they don’t care who they exploit
More manpower for the protests
French govt taking notes from the shoe mistress
I wonder where are they going to find a rug big enough to swipe them under.
This isn’t as disastrous as it sounds, even if it still sucks. France has social services capable of handling this, but the problem is that it dumps these folks on smaller towns where they probably have lost whatever meager social networks and support they might have built in Paris, and will probably face little welcome where they end up.
They do this stuff in the US to punt the homeless out of wherever, send them wherever, and where they land has no social services for them when they get there. Then that municipality gets tired of it and evicts them to the next place.
They did it in Sydney in 2000. I was working in Katoomba 2 hrs West of Sydney where they’d moved all the homeless and crazies
