Hipsters Use Homeless as Hotspots: "This would be exploitation if the participants were forced into the work. This would be exploitation if it weren't an essentially free service--if the agency charged for access, took a cut, and didn't pay a wage to the hotspot operators. But it's all voluntary--providing the service, caretaking the hotspots, using the service, donating to the caretakers. And yet there are those who regard this rare case of everyone agreeing with the same horror they do the Chinese sweat shop labor that goes into the manufacture of their iPads.
The only exploitation going here is from the people using the homeless to beat their chests about how they know better than the poor."
