Anyone in their right mind should have mixed feelings on this.

  1. Springfield has WAY TOO MANY homeless people. And quite frankly, I would like to see a lot of them move on and go somewhere else. We simply don't have the infrastructure to handle the number of homeless people and it shows. Have you ever seen what some of these homeless camps look like once the homeless are done with them? Have you noticed the PILES of trash that get leftover on every single major intersection from the beggars? The fact is, the vast majority of them are drug-addled, polluting troublemakers that are not from here and do not belong here. If they get picked up on the side of the road by the cops and refuse treatment, they SHOULD be jailed and fined. Get them the hell out of our state.

  2. homeless people are often homeless and in drugs due to mental illness and simply jailing them and fining them does nothing to help these people or the situation.

I rotate through flavors of Kevin's chicken when I'm at home but don't have time for prep. The prepackaged chicken is cooked sous vide and it's amazingly tender and consistent. Pair it with an uncle Ben's quick rice pouch from the microwave, takes 5 minutes total.

Best frozen I've personally found is Evol. The chicken enchilada bake and the mushroom ravioli one are both good.

Lol it’s certainly not just Springfield logic to connect the dots between a fascist capitalist government and the segregation of “less desirable” people. Republicans classically deregulate, which results in Monopolies. Here’s how it works…

Step 1. I rig the game so that it’s basically impossible for you to win. Let’s play monopoly except I start with the bank and Park Place and you get Baltimore Ave and $5.00 and abusive parents.

Step 2. You land on Park Place and can’t afford the rent so you sell Baltimore Ave to me. I now own all land and you have some cash. But eventually you loose it all for landing on Chance and being thrown in jail.

Step 3. You land on Park Place again and have 0$. At this point there is literally no where on the board that isn’t owned by me. Eventually we decide you have to forfeit, loose the game, or be thrown in jail.

Step 4. You start to realize how the game is rigged against you by your wealth status and that you never had a chance to win in the first place. You flip the table and move out to live on your own.

Step 5. You’re rounded up by police for camping on government land and thrown in real jail. Now you understand.

I feel like this cannot possibly be constitutional. But I don't know of any advocacy groups for the homeless willing to spend the money to fight this :/

I know I and other homeless can't.

I feel like there is a thing about being arrested for dumb laws? Discriminatory laws?

How about unreasonable fines? No homeless person has $750 for a fine to blow.

Or how about slave labor? If you can't pay the fine you have to enter into a work program with the state? No homeless person has that money. I'm pretty sure that's literally a few dollars less than what someone on minum wage makes in 2 weeks, so it's the threshold for working poor who won't be able to survive without that money. .

And this doesn't just happen once. People need to sleep every night/day.

The cost of a 1 bedroom not for a slum lord or ghetto is higher than most people. I know people who are living 8 people to a 2 bedroom apartment. That's no better than homeless.

There is no good option. They should get rid of this crap and put the money into affordable housing or something. The subsidized living spaces aren't paradise exactly either but they seem better than most other options. It's just going to cost the tax payers no matter what.

God it makes me so fuckin angry.

This is literally what liberals have been saying for a long time. Like the past ten years has just been liberals saying literally “Jesus would have been socialist, republicans are hypocrites and their religious justifications don’t add up.
