“gets railed” i thought that was supposed to be a list of bad things
How do you form a labor union with people who don’t participate in the labor pool?
Hobos do participate in the labor pool. They were migrant workers, and the union they formed was to help fight against anti-homeless/ worker legislation.
People don’t realize Hobos aren’t 100% synonymous with homeless.
The definition I’ve seen is Hobo: traveling looking for work Tramp: traveling but no interest in work Bum: don’t travel, don’t work
sigh not gonna lie, the nomad route is becoming more and more enticing lately. The part that sucks is that RVs designed for long-term use are expensive as fuck and you still have to pay for hook-ups. The alternative is living out of a car or large passenger van, which, while not terrible, means the amount of space you have is almost non-existent.
The Snufkin lifestyle is very appealing though.
A nice RV kind of misses the point of “hobo.” So does “hobosexual,” but that’s a different topic.
you still have to pay for hook-ups.
I mean, this isn’t universal. Try being more charming.
There is still an ongoing Hobo Convention that elects a King of the Hobos. I found this out after meeting a past King as he was feeding stray cats in Seattle. Ironically he had worked for the railroad
