I had a babysitter like that. One girl literally kicked my ass when I refused to go to bed, as in she kicked me right in the ass and told me more was coming if I didn’t get. Just like with Calvin, it worked. I went to bed and shut up.
She doesn’t seem to enjoy the time she spends with Miles, and even accepts posts for months at a time off-station to get away from him. Of course he spends more time with Julian!
What I found most concerning about this episode was that the refugee encampments, which were supposed to represent ultimate poverty, despair, and oppression, look a damned sight nicer than bad areas in San Francisco and Los Angeles today.
Oh, I gotcha now. Yes, I guess it’s really just too clean, and the people too sane, which is a result of it being thrown together in under a week, on a limited budget.
Edit: they also don’t convey the scope of the problem. This homeless in L.A. goes on for mile after mile. There’s a video out there of someone driving through Skid Row in L.A. and it’s like 10 miles long. It is absolutely unbelievable to me how big the problem is.
