“An act of compassion on our part because you all deserve to be murdered on sight”

Nah, it’s about further wealth transfer to the prison industrial complex. Dead people can’t be sold as slaves to farmers.
Well the good news is being inside it’s really easy. You can be inside a sleeping bag for example.
Squirrels are granted more freedom and dignity than humans in Florida
Sooo. Can we bus them all to DeSantis’ back yard? That’s what one does in these situations, right?

Lemmy allowing you to edit any part of your post is just so good.
We don’t like your existence, so we’re criminalizing it.
Need more slaves for the prison-industrial complex.
Party at DeSantis’s mansion!
As a meta aside - please don’t use amp links.
So I guess we’ll just die then¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That’s the intended effect here.
Die or leave, either way they can pretend the problem’s been solved
leave to go where?
Would be nice to see them all organize and descend on Washington, a tent city wave vis a vis the Bonus March in 1932.
I wonder how bad homeless would need to get before major reform. Camps are going to keep popping up until they overwhelm local resources, and then disperse some, a microcosmic cycle of ruralization and urbanization, with greater and greater capacity, and more and more sophisticated systems of public services, trade, and justice, until institutions and policy are replaced by popular demand.
What’s more, increasing poverty and homelessness is a major social, economic, public wellness, and national security issue that, in addition to not going away anytime soon, is something I think most Americans find compassion for, and even demand action on, when it’s face to face, people like themselves.
It’s like, as the oceanliner sinks, and the 99% have to fight for a few life boats and a piece of door, while the 1% fly away on a helicopter, the 99% must realize they were exponentially closer to being in the same boat together than any of them were to being on the helicopter.
homeless people would have a hard time organizing I think. from what I understand they are spending the day trying to make money and eat. this will affect where they choose to live and how far they’ll travel.
Someone else’s problem according to them. The NIMBYs can’t be bothered to think about it.
I hear sometimes there’s buses to Martha’s vineyard
interesting 🤔
Jokes aside, I’m talking about this monstrous stunt from DeSantis from a few years ago:

Apparently it wasn’t a bus, my bad.
Remember that movie where in the future all restaurants were Taco Bell? Well the real future, all public services are police.
I think that was demolition man, where only taco bell survived the franchise wars
Even worse: the police are sponsored by/a subsidiary of Taco Bell
Now you too can be beaten down with a delicious Chulupa Supremetm
Wielded by Chalupa Batman.
And be ruthlessly yapped at by tiny dog with a party hat.
So now they have to sleep indoors. Then they are not homeless anymore. Problem solved!
