I am reading that SCOTUS is leaning towards banning homelessness encampments. And what is their wonderful plan after that? Or is cruelty once again the point?

@gemswinc Keep thinking of Scrooge... "Are there no workhouses? Are there no prisons?"

What's the point here? They're going to fine them? They're going to jail them? WHich does what? Overcrowd the jails further, and makes it harder for them to get housing in the future... if not impossible, which leads to what?

Criminalizing existence doesn't seem to be the way to fix this. It's like they expect homeless folk to throw up their hands and go, "Oh well, guess I need to rent now!"

@NiveusLepus I think Demons sit up at night coming up with this stuff. Fine the homeless? WTAF? If they had money they'd live somewhere else. Horrifying how inhumane so many have become ( or always were ).

@gemswinc The only solution to a lack of compassion is to show more compassion. We can be the caveat.

In the end, I side with St Augustine and MLK jr. here.

"An Unjust law, is no law at all"

@gemswinc The state is no legislator of morality or right, but rather the enforcement of a milieu.

That milieu can be defied and overcome if need be.

@NiveusLepus Well put! Thanks for the encouragement!
