A tragic cycle in part, created by our own government, working people are homeless for a multitude of reasons. Then our government criminalizes them? More evidence of a government by the money for the money, not by the people for the people. Our politicians are more concerned with helping the rich get richer supporting conglomerates & already rich corporations to save money vs take responsibility for the damage (lower wages for workers while CEO’s get more and more) Walmart used to teach their employees how to get assistance bc their pay was so low. This was documented by HGEA union in one of their magazines.

Your heart and concern reporting on this is wonderful.

The ruling is astonishing. So you’re struggling and now you have a criminal record which makes everything else in life harder too. Instead of assigning a social worker to help you find shelter and food, you now get a fine that you can’t pay and a probation officer (I’m assuming)? This is just so backwards.

If Trump were to winbyby we'll see see camp sryle jails for refugees and I feel homeless will follow. See , by this passage of law his government can just round them up. May God have mercy on this election. Project 2025 is 'in the works." I pray for our democracy and elections every day. Anyone who can't understand my thoughts should read a book called Strongmen..it explains how this has evolved historically all over the world..

Salaams! I am deeply saddened by this order. The homeless are a reminder that we are not doing enough and it spurs us to excel at good deeds. Is this because jails have become a private business and want more inmates?
