Aside from the whole ethical issue of driving away the homeless, if I lived or worked evening/night shift in the area, I'd probably sue

My theory is that every single society in existence, no matter how prosperous or well organized, has at least a few people who didn't make it in life. 34,000 of 10 million is not even 1%, that is pretty good.

My interpretation is that the homeless in Sweden are their equivalent of Dalits (Untouchables) if they're less than 1%. It must be fate that they just won't find success during their lifespan and it is unlikely they ever will- even if help is given to them.

I love how India's Caste System has built in inequality. It reflects a harsh truth about life that usually someone is always above us unless you happen to be at the top or part of an exclusive elite. I get disrespect from superiors for being at a lower level, but it feels good at the end of the day that there is an even lower class whom I'm allowed to be negative towards in exchange for suffering my place.

If a Dalits' shadow touches someone else of a higher caste, the higher caste person is said to be obligated to hit the Dalit with a stick as punishment. I'm not in favor of the beatings but hitting just once for one violation, I don't think I mind too much. It arguably gives them incentive to be more careful next time around. Everyone being obligated to perform their Dharma can explain so many things.

I trust you know that thevcaste system has absolutely no redeeming qualities and it’s one of the major contributors to the social clusterfuck that is India.

They don't. The number of homeless in Scandinavia is greater than the number of Florida despite those countries and the state of Florida having about the same population. We had a conversation about it. I'm not sure why because you apparently didn't listen.

The music is being played on a patio they don't want people shitting on, it's a pretty good sized piece of land surrounded by traffic. It's not going to bother anyone who isn't sleeping on the patio.
