    It made it de jure illegal to be homeless, and de facto more illegal to be homeless.

    And a hell of a lot harder for these people to get back on their feet now that they’ll be trapped in an endless cycle of streets > tickets/fines > jail.

    Tell me how a homeless person is supposed to come up with $5k to pay off fines and get a license after it’s suspended for non-payment of fines for example? They don’t and they stay homeless. Even if they manage to get a job they get their pay garnished so they still can’t afford anywhere to live and then get more tickets for being homeless all while working complete trash, dehumanizing jobs with low pay. How long does someone bother to continue trying to “do the right thing” in those circumstances?

    Because in fucking capitalist Democrat “utopia”, there “are” “no” homeless people. But there has to be a permanent underclass and their lives have to be hell or there will be no one left to melt for biomass.

    Can’t say I disagree living up north in Oregon and seeing all the same abhorrent behavior from our state Dems. Like for example refusing to distribute hundreds of millions meant for rehab centers and instead overturning the voter initiative that made it a requirement and redirecting all those funds toward police. My Democratic Rep also just voted against impeaching Trump.
