@tofugolem My area has signs up on at intersections saying "For their safety and yours, please do not give to the homeless. Donate to a local charity instead." followed by "No trespassing, no soliciting. Violators will be prosecuted." πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ Sure, let's just not do anything to address the root causes of poverty and instead just threaten to arrest the homeless and lock them away if they have the audacity to ask for help.

See also: why there is a huge pushback against the idea of decoupling health insurance from employment. If you can keep your access to healthcare regardless of which jerk signs your check you wouldn't put up with so much crap. That's my opinion on the situation. It's the same people playing the same stick and carrot game.

@Quenby It’s as if the system is designed to keep one tethered to their employer! #ShockedNotShocked
