I was in downtown seattle recently and these homeless people play music on giant bluetooth speakers.

It was kind of surreal - sketchy looking person playing high-pitched voice female vocals (imagine k-pop).

Every person is just a few missed meals and showers away from being a "sketchy looking person" even k-pop lovers. The majority of Americans are precariously close to ending up homeless.

I used to work in Pioneer Square, and there was a guy with a "portable" (think desktop PC in a milk crate, bungie corded to a foldable dolly) gaming pc playing on the regular. Granted this is back a bit.

Seattleites are a resourceful lot.
