Apologies for the jerks in this thread. I’m yanking those comments now since that behavior is against community rules.

As the downvotes indicate, these people are not a representation of the rest of this community’s views.

All the big shitty banks are going to do this. Credit unions are the way.

Coffee is a critical component of that breakfast. It’s the only way you’re going to shit after eating eggs and white rice for breakfast everyday.

Although, half of the county didn’t vote, because they know that the person in charge of everything important is the Supreme Leader.

I get the sense that these things are kind of like traveling carnivals now. A company rolls in, unboxes their stuff, runs through preprogrammed stuff, then moves to the next event. It’s becoming pretty cheap and portable now.

A shocking amount of cities in my area had them this year. I had no idea it had become this easy and accessible now.

Pretty sure it’s the other way around in many nations. The right’s goal is to meet the Taliban in BCE.

Yeah, IMHO, the high court should’ve said that you need a safe place for someone to stay if you’re going to force an individual off the street. If you don’t have nearly enough shelter beds for your entire homeless population, and a 1/3rd of your shelter beds are not being used, then there is something about that shelter system that probably needs to be fixed.

And that said, at least CA is trying to fill vacancies. There are places that are going to arrest people even if no bed exists. And that is just going to continue to push more and more unhoused people to coastal states that are less cruel.

Storing stuff as plain text is so hot right now.

Tim Cook be like

Yes. CA only has enough beds for half of the unhoused population, but significantly less than half of the unhoused population is claiming a bed.

For example, even though San Francisco and Oakland have fewer beds than unhoused people, last year SF had 10% of its beds empty and a few years before that, Oakland was coming in at 36% vacant. I don’t know what the current numbers are.

I don’t agree with this policy, but CA wants to jail people when there is a vacancy and someone is refusing to take the bed. Before this court ruling, CA could not do that.
