Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

So wait...lemme get this right. They made it illegal to be homeless AND the government can come and take your belongings, just 'cause?

I'm sorry, what??

This doesn't solve anything except homelessness being an eyesore, to which it relocates and becomes one elsewhere, requiring acting on the law, resulting in relocation and becoming one elsewhere, requiring acting on the law, resulting in relocation...

If they want to go down the route of not fixing homelessness, the next step is culling. Apparently the most expensive and ineffective methods are desirable.

It will achieve what its proponents wanted, which is forcible removal of the homeless from wealthy neighborhoods. People with power in society will again be protected from any possible discomfort or guilt about their lifestyle, and any impetus to provide programs to help such people will evaporate.

Eventually they are all arrested and in jail, working prison labor jobs.

The next step isn't a culling. The next step is filling them full of private prisons where they can have cheap labor for capitalists

It's a Good Thing the People who Benefit Most from this Ruling had NO WAY WHATSOEVER AT ALL to Bribe or Financially sway the Judges in their Favor!

You are doing so well america... And soon you will have a senile rapist criminal in office again, instead of the other old guy, whom is funding a genocide.

Meanwhile you all sit there saying "remember to vote", while you watch Rome burn.
