In South Carolina news, not to be outdone by North Carolina, we have criminalizing the homeless. 

Instead of devising a way to either provide jobs so these folks can provide for themselves…they’d much rather have them go through the humiliating experience of being picked up by the police and taken to a shelter.  The shelter may harbor criminals or the mentally ill (who are not in control of themselves), or be so crowded that sleep is impossible—let alone the hygiene issues like getting a shower.

Or, what about funding something like Earthships that could build a relatively cheap sustainable house for folks to live?

Nah….we can’t have that…that would take all the fun out of being mean, petty, and heartless….
