Hobos

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Hobos have long been misunderstood. People call them bums, often prefaced with the word "lazy". Yet life on the road is arduous. Hobos travel to find work for food and lodging, an old tradition. In the late 1800s, 63 of them started a union with a small subscription fee and a set of laws. Here is a report from this year's National Hobo Convention http://econ.st/19w44zs
