[ExI] portable toilets, was: RE: Watch robots make pizzas from start to finish at an automated pizzeria

[William Flynn Wallace]

I did not say that I was in favor of the feds doing what would amount to
trillions of dollars if facilities were put where significant numbers of
the homeless are.  I certainly do not have any solutions at all, but I
think the supply of people who would want to live in such places is nearly
endless, esp. if you supply those drugs (why do that?).

(santa clara came from Adrian's post)

Your schools will rent trailers in all probability. Common.
