Bummin' WiFi

An enterprising company in Austin is turning that city's large population of street bums into wi-fi hotspots. The idea is to have the stinky-pants crowd (and it is a crowd in Austin, believe me) carry around a hotspot while wearing a shirt that reads "I'm a wifi hotspot" and shows connection info. If you tune-in, the expectation is that you'll chip in a couple bucks toward their MD 20/20 fund.

As you've probably already guessed, various members of the lefty hand-wringing class have rocketed from their accustomed squatting positions atop the moral high ground straight into low orbit, screaming in self-righteous indignation the entire way. If I still found their antics entertaining, I'd make myself some popcorn and watch. The reality, though, is that I just don't give a flying fuck what anybody at Wired, HuffPo, etc., has to say about... well... anything, really. That includes their half-baked opinions on the ethically acceptable uses of societal failures.
