alt Hacker News> Many rented just a bed for half a day! They slept, and the other half the other person, who worked in night shift, slept on it.
This is not unheard of for south Asian immigrants in European cities, which typically do hard, low paid work (car cleaners, gig economy delivery "partners" etc).
All that for what ? So people can order take away in Berlin from a place that's 10 minutes away from them by bike, because they clubbed too hard last night. And the profit finds its way to America (doordash owns Wolt).

Yes, I forgot to add this. I saw some shocking examples from Honk Kong, I think, where immigrants rent just a bed-cell.
Bullshit. At list in Germany. Here, the state benefits are so high, that the majority of illegal immigrants and "refugees" can have a comfortable life and procreate without having to think about feeding their offsprings, whereas the domestic population must pay ever increasing taxes to enable their lifestyle.

But at least people are getting paid right? The alternative is people staying in their hometown and not making any money.
