The gilded elite that trapse around SXSW need to get off their high horses and appreciate a persons position that is not their own. The truth of it is they would rather not come face to face with the homeless which forces them to think about those still waiting for the elevator to the ivory tower. It's much cleaner to tweet their concern and feel good about their twactivism.
“Everyone thinks I’m getting the rough end of the stick, but I don’t feel that,” Mr. Jones said. “I love talking to people and it’s a job. An honest day of work and pay.”
- mindslight 15y agoThe twactivists might have a leg to stand on if this had a chance of turning into a long-term phenomenon, or more importantly, internet access was actually scarce. Need a wireless hotspot with 4G backhaul? Get out your phone, turn on 4G, turn on wifi AP - no homeless people exploited, or more importantly, thought about. It seems like BBH's goals must have been to raise awareness and give homeless people a way to participate in SXSW, and we just can't have that.
