[08:03] Isambard_Prince No typo, just a comment. [08:03] Isambard_Prince My county has started putting out signs saying not to feed homeless people or give them money, just donate to a shelter. [08:03] Isambard_Prince Shelters only take in some of them, and only under conditions. [08:04] Isambard_Prince If the law says you can't offer a homeless person food, then breaking the law becomes the right thing to do. [08:04] Isambard_Prince It becomes what a good person has to do. [08:04] schestowitz[TR2] rMS wrote about this [08:04] schestowitz[TR2] look around "moral and legal" [08:04] schestowitz[TR2] he explained the difference [08:06] Isambard_Prince It's very different. [08:06] Isambard_Prince Feeding homeless people is illegal because businesses think homeless people are unsightly. [08:07] Isambard_Prince They don't want them hanging around asking for food. [08:07] Isambard_Prince The problem of the homeless could easily be fixed, mostly. [08:07] Isambard_Prince If the government spent a fraction of the war budget on the issue. [08:08] Isambard_Prince Or if they implemented policies that resulted in more job and housing opportunities in general. [08:08] Isambard_Prince The government, during COVID, developed a "feed the sparrows through the horses" approach to homelessness. [08:09] Isambard_Prince It cost a lot of money. Basically they put a bunch of money into paying back rent, or lodging them in hotels. [08:09] Isambard_Prince More money than it would have cost to build permanent housing for them. [08:09] Isambard_Prince And now they are all homeless again. [08:09] Isambard_Prince Feed the sparrows through the horses is another way of saying "wealth trickles down". [08:10] Isambard_Prince For the enormous cost of propping up the rich, the poor may get some too when it comes out the other end of the horse. [08:10] schestowitz[TR2] right [08:10] schestowitz[TR2] anyway, we need proper laws [08:10] schestowitz[TR2] and [08:10] schestowitz[TR2] proper enforcement [08:10] schestowitz[TR2] not people who show uip [08:10] schestowitz[TR2] making up stuf [08:10] schestowitz[TR2] while ignoring all the people who smoke pot [08:10] schestowitz[TR2] which spreads as smoke to other people [08:10] Isambard_Prince schestowitz[TR2], I may have to smoke pot soon.

Or maybe he just blamed it for filing vexatious shit against the police with some idiotic tribunal. [08:11] schestowitz[TR2] telling people not to feed animals is ammoiral [08:11] Isambard_Prince He panicked when it wasn't going to fly.

[11:04] Isambard_Prince Which oddly went away when my mother handed me a couple tubes of permethrin cream and said oh by the way, Trent got that at his mother's house and came back and gave it to me, Brian, and Collin that week you were over for Thanksgiving. [11:05] Isambard_Prince Trent's mom was a big hoebag. [11:05] Isambard_Prince It's not impossible to get Scabies without fucking someone and rubbing up against them, but that's a good way to get them. [11:06] Isambard_Prince I'm sure that while she was whoring around she got it and then everyone around her in the house got it. [11:06] Isambard_Prince Then so did mom and Brian. Then so did I.
