Arm the homeless
Homelessness is illegal in the US.
Because the state mandates people have housing right?
There’s a job guarantee at least, right…
Push down wages and drive up inflation.
Lock people out of basic housing.
Criminalize homelessness.
Cheap source of labor.
Profit!
I don’t say this enough: Death to America.
The Constitution’s Eighth Amendment serves many important functions, but it does not authorize federal judges to wrest those rights and responsibilities from the American people and in their place dictate this Nation’s homelessness policy
just perfect double speak
Rather than criminalize mere status, Grants Pass forbids actions like “occupy[ing] a campsite” on public property “for the purpose of maintaining a temporary place to live.” Grants Pass Municipal Code Under the city’s laws, it makes no difference whether the charged defendant is homeless, a backpacker on vacation passing through town, or a student who abandons his dorm room to camp out in protes on the lawn of a municipal building.

The quote for those wondering:
The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.
