The Oregon case decided Friday is the most significant to come before the high court in decades on the issue and comes as a rising number of people in the U.S. are without a permanent place to live.

This is ridiculous. If I lose my job, can't pay my bills, lose my home, and there's no room in a shelter, what the hell am I supposed to do? I get that it's a problem for cities, including mine, to have homeless encampments, but there has to be a relief valve in the system. You have to give people some option for living that isn't illegal.

Such a fucked up court.

According to conservatives you're suppose to die. The cruelty is the point.

No, you're supposed to go to prison where you can legally be put to slave labor. They used to be called work houses.

That's the spirit.

In a conservative's mind, you already had your chance to stay off the street and failed.

They are literally and directly heartless monsters that do not believe in second chances or hard times. They literally assume god is punishing you if you're on hard times.

They are quite literally heartless monsters that want people to be punished for failing to succeed in a rigged system.

Yeah, apparently no "free parking" in this game.

Funny how there's money to put these people in jail, but not to have shelters.

The problem starts before the court came into the equation. It's a stupid law.
