Venting Ideation is high after SCOTUS ruling

[jbear824]

Not sure if anyone here has heard but the SCOTUS of the US has just basically made being homeless illegal, with their decision that cities can ticket/fine people for sleeping outside.

Homeless people don't tend to have a lot of money. Which means a lot of them will fail to pay these fines and essentially be sent to jail, where they will continue to rack up debt they can't pay. And when they are released. Their lack of money and a place to sleep will give them no other option but to become repeat offenders. Sending them right back to jail.

The fact that this is going to happen to me and my partner at some point, since our income combined is not enough to even afford a studio (we can afford it, just wouldn't be able to pay for anything else) is making me want to just check out now.

The US is becoming a fascist theocratic dictatorship and there is nothing can be done to stop it.

And before people scream "vote!", voting means nothing when rich people can write checks to buy whatever laws they want and overturn the will of the people.

I really wish someone would just nuke this country.

I gotta go to court next month for that very offense. Sleeping! I was going to use defense that statute must be unconstitutional. Guess not. Criminalized poverty really.

 

[ToMoveOn]

Yeah, this Supreme Court is horrible.

And who in the hell would you vote for anyway. It wasn't bad enough that the 2 thoroughly corrupt political parties gave us this same choice 4 years ago? So we're going to get the same deal again? 1 is a senile old fool and the other suffers from some kind of narcissistic insanity! When will America....oh what's the use. I wish someone would nuke! You listening Vladimir?

Holy shit...

Why don't they just let us kill ourselves euthanistically? It's a win-win. Problem solved for everyone.

 

[opheliaoveragain]

Homelessness is a real fear I have this summer, in the US South where today the "feels like" was 114. I feel like I'm gonna go actually crazy.

 

[F@#$]

That'll be a law the asshole pigs will love you enforce too.

 

[Spiritual survivor]

Yes I've developed strong suicidal ideation as a result of seeing many tik toks about it. Today is a really rough day for me anyway and then I see how nasty people are in the comments sections. Many are all for throwing people in jail and prison for being too poor.

What makes me angry is Biden (Last stage of Dementia) or Trump (psychopath) are the only two running for president so basically none wants to lead this crazy country.. people are going to eat each other alive just like the walking dead.. homeless are illegal but coming across the boarder with no background check & drugs that killing teens and all the sex trafficking trending in Texas is not illegal.. I'm actually going to be gone before I watch one of those maniacs ruling this country again. Biden started with Covid trump is going to make sure none gets out alive!

Yeah that ruling was fucked up for sure but if that's your reason why not move to a more liberal place like California, the state has been providing people with temporary housing plus the wages are better that you and your partner could make enough to afford an apartment.

I think this period sucks for sure given the choices and I agree with you on the border issues but to think that Joe Biden or Trump can fully destroy the country is overestimating the power of the president inside the country, let's be honest the president doesn't have that much power inside the country other than on immigration, everything else he needs 60 votes in the senate to pass any major changes, well good luck getting those votes since the senate has been split almost 50-50 for a long time, it's the reason no president is ever able to do anything major nowadays except pass the budget because the senate has to.

You're right! They don't have power without votes but I don't trust the votes either. I just think that America should be better. We never like that!!

Lot of assumptions here wow

1. I can't work. I'm disabled. I live on $973 a month. From our generous benevolent government.
2. My partner is autistic and can only work part time.
3. Our combined total is like like $2400, not nearly enough to live in California
4. We don't/cant drive or even afford vehicles. And travel is fucking expensive as fuck.

You must pretty well off to just suggest that as if it's something anyone can just do. Ffs.

We have no way out. As soon as we are priced out of where we are. We are on the street, which is now a one way ticket to jail.

 

[JealousOfTheElderly]

Bobby Kennedy is a 3rd party candidate. The MSM likes to pretend the senile old man and the narcissistic sociopath are our only 2 choices.

The science denying anti-vaxxer isn't an option either.

I apologize for assuming the ruling was the only problem, I didn't mean to come off insensitive, that's my bad I am sorry. It's just that I have known people who were about to become homeless in Denver who took the bus to California, took advantage of the homeless services to get a hotel room and then started working minimum wage jobs and within 4 months they could afford a studio and went on from there, but of course this wouldn't apply in your situation and so I do apologize for making assumptions.

 

[sickofthisht]

What is the point in ticketing people who don't have any money? This worlds fucked man

I am sorry. My concerns are often dismissed by pretty much all of the people in my life currently. So I am extra sensitive. My bad. Thank you though for clarifying further. I'm just terrified. I want to escape but I can't.

Upper society generally wants to eliminate poor/homeless folk because they harsh their vibe. Think of it as socioeconomic cleansing. They realized direct murder is a bad look so they go for the long game instead.
