…and into homes, right?
…right?
Just teach them Python and the rest will work itself out.
I feel like I’m missing the joke here 🤔
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
Ah yes, the ol’ “Just push them somewhere else” tactic
“Out of sight, out of mind” or something like that
I wonder where are they going to find a rug big enough to swipe them under.
More manpower for the protests
Ah yes, the glorious Olympics tradition continues of host countries proudly jerking themselves off while spending insane amounts of money.
“Look at us while we jerk our selves off. Ignore the fact that we are completely making life harder for marginalized communities to be able to build these one time use stadiums and lodgings that may or may not be used to house people.”
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.

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.
Good move. Need more of that here on the other side of the pond. Gotta love the French.
Finally! They are so unsightly.
Thankfully this sort of thing never come to a boil in France.
