anti-homelessness
It’s always really disheartening to see tacitly anti-homeless policies, like the daily cap on bottle return deposits. When someone’s bringing in 25 bottles it’s probably their only viable means of income, and it’s value that they’ve *certainly* worked for.
The likelihood that those 25 bottles are bottles discarded by people for whom the dollar a bottle means *absolutely* nothing should not disqualify someone from *fucking feeding themselves*
anti-homelessness
person living entirely off discarded scraps of the well-off: *exists*
policy makers: hmm, what if we could limit how many scraps they could access?
anti-homelessness
this is disgusting and the more I notice it the more obvious the sleight of hand on the part of the policy makers becomes and the concept that the rules are there to help people is perhaps the most insidious lie I ever bought into
