The Bum Walkers

Kadizzle took a long bike ride around Denver. In total he may have gone thirty miles. Of course it was on the ebike. Denver has a fantastic system of trails that follow the creeks and rivers.  The trail towards Denver is populated with the bum walkers. Tents and bum carts appear under the bridges and in the glens. According to Erin the bums have been attacking people and robbing them. Erin claims the bums put up a trip wire and caught a bike rider by the neck. The bums Kadizzle saw were all domesticated and harmless. 

Why not pay bums to pick up trash?  Pay the bums by the pound, and pay them well. As kids we picked up bottles. There should be a bottle deposit law. Bums could be paid to pickup all sorts of trash. If those guys standing on the street corner were paid to pick up trash at a rate that paid better than holding a cardboard sign, maybe they would. When a bum brings in a shopping cart of trash why not give him or her a token for a shower? Bums could be given uniforms that the city would clean for free in exchange for trash work. Bums seem to like to pickup trash. Often you see a bum with a cart full of junk. The bums could form a union, Bums of America. Their union could demand better facilities under bridges. Bum hotels could be built under bridges. Rent could be paid in trash. Bums could have blue hats with MACA on them. MACA would mean Make America Clean Again.
