It ain't just California... On a different but related angle I was working in North Carolina recently and was surprised to find the Hilton I was staying at was housing "Homeless"..... Hardly "Homeless" they are living better that an awful lots of people who work hard to provide a roof over their families heads...
I wound up in the lobby after midnight & one of the "Homeless" was at the desk negotiating a "Departure Settlement" ????WTF??????? Apparently He'd only been at the Hilton for about ten days.. Prior to that he'd been at a Holiday Inn in the next town & they had paid him $5000 to leave...And now the Hilton was only offering him $2000 & he was "suggesting" the $5000 settlement and a clean room would be cheaper than having to repair his room after he departed....
How have we gotten to this point?
