There are jobs. 4 farm jobs for every applicant. Criminals need to go to jail if they do crime. They're choosing not to work.
Of course everyone working is against AI. Unless there can be a universal safety net, it's inevitable. Money talks. Corporations have all the power.

And I don't think people down on their luck would wanna work in farms under the hot california sun. Immigrants(legal or illegal) come here with hope in their eyes. The homeless are all but hopefull. Then they get sent to a work camp?

Most probably can't even function. Those that do want to work would probably be happy behind a register in an air conditioned McDonalds.

But not knocking your idea. Any opportunity is better than none.

There are some that will take any job opportunity. There are many that won't but it is a filter.

But remember, they're human beings. Maybe they were like you and me once.

Well the elders got their piece of the pie and pulled the ladder up with them. The whole "eff the next generation, I got mines! " Mentality.

Of course we gotta all get our own. But we gotta leave stepping stones. If my city is changing, then let it change. This isn't my dad's L.A., and tomorrow this won't be my L.A.

So then you should not be upset when people go after the elites with pitch forks. Yes forced sterilization is extreme but I dont think we are going to get out of this situation without really extreme measures and many baby boomer elites going to jail, there is just no way around it. People who put themselves in these positions of power are smart and they are willing to step on who ever they need to to get back in power even if it were taken away just like a snake.

So farm jobs isn't good enough for them so they resort to robbing people while driving around in their burglary funded BMWS. Time to go to jail

Not all but many.
Yes, working, having a purpose, a bed and decent food can help.

But farm work is very hard. I don't think the homeless can work as hard as an illegal. It may take 3 or 4 homeless to = 1 illegal. But L.A. and San Fran should have enuf homeless to make a good effort at food picking.

I think it may be a good idea to round up all the homeless and relocate them to 29 Palms, CA.

NYC was working on shipping homeless to Staten Island.

Plan for new homeless shelters on Staten Island already causes concern | SILive.com

You guys got lots of desert just sitting in CA, make it a paradise for the homeless!

Anyone who says Prop 47, 57, AB 109 should stay in place and that rising crime rates are because of a lack of economic opportunities, need to point them to our farming jobs. Plentiful and they pay $15+ an hour. Work and let's repeal pro criminal laws.

No, I mean your parliament. It's one thing for renegade outlaws to take land. It's another when the government starts killing citizens because of skin color.

South Africa will become another Zimbabwe. You watch and see (and suffer)
