    We can’t be giving homeless people free drinking water when there’s golf courses to maintain in the desert /s

    It’s ridiculous how society treats homeless people like pests

        Not all places have this law, although it probably should be a law everywhere. That said, most businesses are able to skirt it fairly easily by giving away tiny cups of water. Some buy tiny cups just for this purpose and nothing else

      In Arizona the water mainly goes to grow alfalfa. In the desert. For the Saudis.

      Golf is a surge upon this earth. Wasting water in deserts. Wasting what could be green space in cities

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
