They just evicted a homeless guy who was living under a bridge near me, kind of sad, he'd been there a couple years, kept the sidewalk clear and didn't cause anyone problems as far as I could tell.

The encampments along the highway where I live were cleared out and large boulders and stumps were placed to prevent people pitching tents.

The stumps have broken down so just the boulders sit. Like monuments of the people who were neglected. Ghosts haunting the margins, and I think that's fitting.

The vents are warranted. Sleep on them and become doused with warm water that stops partway through the night. By winter morning, you’re dead by cold.

When are we poor people gonna start forming nomad clans? We got south american vietnam gonna kick off any time now. We got megacorps building Mikoshi hubs all over. Economy is mid-collapse. Only thing holding it up is mortgage payments and the momentum of the dollar being the reserve currency of most of the world. And even that momentum is slowing by the day. Xi and Putin were caught on a hot mic talking about immortality and living to be 150.

We are distinctly on the Cyberpunk timeline.

So when can I run off and join a nomad clan?

I dunno man but keep practicing your community organizing and keep fixing cars.

Marijuana is still illegal in a lot of places and breaking laws+crossing state borders is still a hazardous combination. The ecological niche is right there, it just needs some better solutions to compete with the Feds any more.

Killing feds is about to get a loooooot more popular, if chicago pops off how theyre obviously trying to make it.

So, give it a year.

sounds like good incentive for them to leave their goddamn chest cameras rolling

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah but you know whether they were rolling at the time is always a decision fop legal will make in the days after their receipt of justice.

that's what I thought too until I saw a headline recently about a cop turning off his cam and then getting stuck in his patrol car. it was recording all the way up until a detainee propositioned him for sex so I assume they actuality turn off at the officers discretion.

LOL, well, im sure they won't fix that.

Homeless people are ruining our city! Here's some pokey pyramids that don't even line up correctly.

Gonna spend money, but it can't help the people invloved. It can only be used to hide the people who need help from view.

taps temple I'm frugal.

Ut thats kind of liberalism. 'I want to feel good with least effort and least challenge'. It's why they always side with fasch.
