Bloomberg must read Neal Stephenson

He wants to put the homeless of the city onto decommissioned cruise ships.

If you have read Snow Crash, then you recall the part where there is the rifraff that lives out on the boats because they can't afford to be in on land.

I hope that means that the cool pizza delivery starts up soon.

yeah i read about this yesterday. i still say we put them in submarines all manned by Sean Connery and Ed Harris. not that i ever said that before, but i thought it would give my idea more credibility. they could even bring cameras on board and film like a Real World only it's about homeless people in a submarine. homeless people in my pants.

holy shit... I never thought of that.

homeless people, all on some sort of boat, as a reality tv show.

that is totally brilliant.

I'd watch that for hours and buy whatever the ads told me to like.
