Poverty is illegal. We are all poor.
Can you solve the equation?
Homelessness becomes illegal + For-profit prison system that’s allowed by law to force prisoners to work + increasing cost of rent + lower relative price of labor =
spoiler
Situation of dog eats dog, increasingly pauperized labor market where the poorest layer of the population gets enslaved, and the second poorest, and the third poorest, and the n-th poorest all will also fall one by one, because guess what? Free workers now have to compete in wages with prisoners.
That’s the plan, fascism, everyone but the elite works the camps
They’re gonna learn the hard way there’s no such thing as free work when the
workersslaves burn their factorys down.“karma will deal with it”
No, do something.
I hate karma dealers. I like action planners.
I can make all kinds of plans that don’t matter because nobody wants to do the work and deal with the fallout.
Find some mural aid groups.They desperately need positive leadership lately.
Next up- making all prison labor protections optional.
What the actual fuck.
No it doesn’t work like that.
Sleeping outside while homeless I am sure isn’t a deliberate choice. Homeless people aren’t magic. They can’t conjure a building to sleep in from thin air. Making it illegal doesn’t give tgem magic building making powers or like teleportation or whatever these delusional idiots think it does.
It should be illegal to be a billionaire while there are homeless people. Fuck the billionaire oligarchs!
So whats the punishment a fine? Prison time where u use tax payer money to give them a bed and food?
The purpose is to push people into the for-profit prison system, which rakes in billions in slave labor.

You’re getting downvoted, but you’re absolutely right. The only valid argument against your comment is that you’re being a bit of an ass, but even that doesn’t make you wrong. If a person can’t handle a tiny bit of assholery, then they shouldn’t be on the internet.

It’s the responsibility of the person who makes a claim to substantiate it.

Not ideal solution, but I’m so happy that something is being done. I think people who don’t live in West Coast realize how much homeless people victimize working poor. That’s me and my family. Rich people don’t care that my wife can’t take the Max to work for fear of being attacked. They’ll just drive wherever they need to. My city just posted allowed camping map and guess what? It’s all around apartments because it’s close to transit. I’ve voted Democrats since I lived in this country, but they have been in charge of Oregon for ages and solved nothing.
something is being done
What’s being done here exactly? I don’t see how this does anything except increase the prison population, or move the problem to a new location.
Neither of those seems like a solution. But I’m also maybe missing something?
I am a person who is victimized by homeless. If I had an instrument that gives every homeless a home, I’d use it, but I don’t have one. It’s not my job to create one either. It’s the government’s job. Now I’m given another instrument that allows me to move the problem somewhere else. I don’t care where it moves - it’s not my job to setup this system. I can only choose between my family’s safety vs some rando safety. I will ALWAYS choose the former. It’s not cruelty on my part - it’s just logic. People making these pro-homeless comments fall into 2 categories : 1. Not personally affected because they don’t live here or are rich 2. Have high tolerance of danger like those people climbing mountain without rope. I’m not one of those people so any instrument to deal with my immediate problem is welcomed.
